I've been in your shoes.  The woman in the next office used to DOCUMENT my time of arrival in the morning - one of her old admins happened to come across the document and told me about it.  And PERCEPTIONS are one of the hardest things to turn around - whether they are true or not doesn't matter.



What I've found helpful is leaving a note as to my whereabouts - I have a white board outside of my office.  Sample messages; I include the parenthetical comment as well:



* Back in 5 minutes

* Out PM (using earned leave time)

* Out to lunch at 00:00

* At copier

* At meeting - expect to return at 00:00

* So-and-so's office



It's a pain, but it takes the wind out of their sail, too!
