Need to leave early?

Try a phone call or text message-to yourself. Who doesn’t need to get out of a bad date, or worse, a bad PowerPoint deck? Here are a few free-for-now internet sites that can help. First is The Popularity Dialer. Enter your cell number and select a time you want your phone called. (You get up to five calls to one number, then you have to make a donation.) A fake voice on the other end calls and gives you someone to pretend to be talking to. Need to text yourself? (Oh, that sounds so William Shatner naughty), then try CallTheFuture.
