The clicky noises from my mouse is too loud. I think my boss can hear it. SO please fix my mouse, or provide an alternative way to mine so I can get back to important unicorn work.

My solution was to use something like this Now I can mine in silence, and as a bonus, no carpal tunnel. – Gray Apr 1 '14 at 13:50

1The clicky noises are not too loud. You (and possibly your boss) are just too old. – Frédéric Hamidi Apr 1 '14 at 13:53

What you need is autofire mode. – Ilmari Karonen Apr 1 '14 at 18:12

If you're on Windows (at least 7, not sure which others have this), go to:
Control Panel
Ease of Access
Ease of Access Center
Make the mouse easier to use
Turn on Mouse Keys and use the numpad 5 to click. This changes your click-y noises to type-y noises, so your boss will think you are hard at work again.

Have you thought about giving your boss ear plugs?

On Linux, you could use xdotool to automate your clicking :)
sleep 5 && while true; do xdotool click 1; done
Now you can automine
