I sometimes call in sick to work even when I'm not so I can get some me time.

It helps to make hacking sounds in the backgroud. I have mine prerecorded on a tape.

Also, happy birthday. Judging by the langauge of your posts, I'd say you were in your late 60s?

Ask me about an AARP membership. They are better than you think.
