If the alcoholics from my family call me after 2 PM I'm "busy" or "getting another call"
Before 2 PM they aren't too bad, but it's up to me to protect myself, and I stopped "announcing" I was "taking space" years ago for the most part with these folks and just quietly took it, because announcing it and saying why just lead to another round on the "Blame" "no you no you" merry go around
Gee, Look at the time, I'm getting another call, oops gotta go all work fine.
