I fiddle with wood to keep my hands busy and i was rubbing sandpaper against a small wooden figurine I carved during a meeting under the desk and my boss saw my arm bouncing up and down and thought I was wanking

Did you tell him you were just keeping your hands busy by fiddling with your wood? That should clear it right up ๐Ÿ‘
