Sounding Busy Whilst Working at Home

I know. You actually are busy. But sometimes it's very quiet around the house. So maybe you're in a business where the appearance of busy-ness is key, or maybe you're a freelancer who's trying to compete with much bigger "real" companies. In that case, maybe this Thriving Office CD (reviewed here) is just what you need.

I don't know whether it's really necessary, honestly. If there could be some sort of frequency cancellation technology that would specifically negate the sounds of dogs barking at the mail carrier, that would really be something. It seems that no matter when I schedule meetings, the moment I get on with people is the precise moment that the front door is menaced by the USPS.

It's a little uncanny.
