im just in general a disorganized, aloof, absent-minded person who struggles to maintain a train of thought for longer than a few sentences but is often expected to talk a lot. id recommend trying that, it works well for me.

my manager bought a wireless keyboard from the $5 store and if she forgets to disconnect it from bluetooth before starting a meeting she sounds like a robot. apparently it's a known issue but she refuses to buy a new keyboard

learned a low-tech trick from my boss - say "uhhh" in-between every single word in your sentence, and then add "and so forth" to the end of every sentence. nobody will ever know what the gently caress your talking about and will certainly never ask you to repeat it.

that's the opposite an old vp who taught me to count to 3 before talking to make people think you thought over your response carefully like don't actually think about your words just count to three then say the same stupid thing you were about to blurt out

i tune the threshold on my mic to be at the point where it drops every eighth word. just enough that nobody understands but not enough that anyone would stop me because my mic's broken.

one of my coworkers has a bunch of dogs that are always barking, howling and unplugging the router. They also used to call in over a VNC connection so that there was a literally 4-5 second delay between us
That did the trick

I have a mute button on my headset and when someone asks me a dumb question I press it repeatedly when I have to talk.

I plan the biggest meetings for when my five-year-old is home with no other supervision available so that she can verbalize her stream of consciousness throughout and then anytime I’m asked a question in meeting I make the person repeat it because I have no idea what is going on.
