I can tap 4/4 with my foot while I tap 5/4 with my hand... But I cant tap 4/4 with my left hand and tap 5/4 with my right hand.. Anyone else get bored at work and try to practice simple patterns while sitting at the desk?

All the time... :-)
That's what makes a drummer tick - constantly banging on something.
I read that "....tapping your feet on the floor is actually practicing." in a book about double-bass drumming;
Well... this is maybe wishful thinking as is 'Drumming is Exercising' (....it's not! A naive assumption, nothing more - We had a lenghy thread about it!), but it hasn't stopped me doing it, at any given opportunity!
...if only to drive the people near me nuts!

This reminds me of:
The Roadies' CreedIf its wet, drink it.
If its dry, smoke it.
If it moves, f**k it.
If it doesnt move ...
...PUT IT ON THE TRUCK.

I tap/play constantly at work. Lately since I joined a new band I've been listening to the cover songs I'm learning while actually going thru some of it slapping my hands on my thighs an using both feet for HH and bass. So when I go to practice, playing the song comes much easier.
I think if you talk to 3Cup, there is an actual kit at her work, or used to be.
K ;-)
My bands: Alter Ego, Arcanum
E Kit = Roland TDW-20s kit // Roland SPD-S// Pearl Demon Drives//
A Kit = Tama Swingstar 5 pc (1981) w/roto toms (orig owner!) //Zildjians
A Kit = Natal 6 pc with Paiste 2000 & Zildjian/MidiKNights/DrumSplitters
