well uh, i didn't keep count of the number, but let's just start it off at 1 here.

perception is truth, and truth may be the untruth.

say you are a hardworking fella, but your boss just happens to catch you at the moment when you closed your eyes for a minute's break from the computer screen. and being the boss, he definitely has not the time to keep a watch on you all the time, so that one time he perceived you is going to have a lasting impression...

and that's it, you're a lazy good-for-nothing that's next on the retrench list. that's the way things work, and for the unlucky ones, i suppose all i can say is... suck it up, princess.

so, back to the all-too-famous army adage: do anything you want, but don't get caught.
