"Hmm ... I'll need to go to my desk and check on that."

"OK, I'll get back with you in a couple minutes."

Again, mix it up. Start off slow. Be sure to reject some calls (not all calls are emergencies). Gradually increase the alarms and calls, and only occasionally indulge in the boss's monologues.

-- Been There, Done That

Dear Been There: This is bananas. While I enjoy and am amused by this idea -- generally the more elaborate the deception, the more dramatic its failure will be.

Dear Amy: "Worried Mother" was facing the prospect of her young children spending summer days with their disruptive, violent teen cousin at daycare.

 

While I agreed with your expression of concern regarding this situation, you should have urged this worried mother to find alternate daycare for her children for the summer.

-- Concerned

Dear Concerned: I agree with you, although it is the teen who really needs an alternative.
