Sometimes time off isn't a good thing.

By Colin Davitt
Just too much noise!

It is just about July and I have taken a bit of time off. At home things can get all kinds of noisy. Kids talking (yelling)  to Alexa/Google Home to play some great hits like that pen pineapple song, someone else watching random Youtube videos, cell phones dinging, Nerf guns and more.

Coffitivity
Simply, a way to create soft background noise like you are in a coffee shop or on a college campus.


Navigate to coffitivity and check out the left side.

Apps
Add it to your mobile device for total portability. So sweet!

Whatever you add here will be the body of the email you are automatically sending out. It would be a good idea to tell them when you are planning on returning and who to call if they need immediate assistance. We also recommend not checking the two buttons at the bottom. 4.

Click Save as type - and choose PDF. 5. Click Save .
