For example, I love to sing. However, only one other person in my life has ever heard me sing and I haven’t seen that person in years. I’m not sure I’m good at singing but I think I can hit the notes well enough.

    My mother died when I was 19. I’d been estranged from her for over a decade at the point. I wasn’t really upset, but I definitely played it up so I could take a week off of work.

      Ooh, good point - I can get a couple of compassionate leave days when the family gets together for a BBQ (probably in August), instead of using PTO :-)
