My former boss used to get really exercised by my doodling in meetings. He tried to bust me on not paying attention until I recounted in detail the meeting discussion along with several questions about subtle points that came up from various comments during the meeting.

Subsequent to that, guess who got canned, and who has since been promoted TWICE to a very senior level and still doodles (during remote online meetings).

The last is an exercise left to the reader :)
