I've used it a few times myself, never had it not work.  You just have to 
be convincing, and technically, it's not a lie (you were thinking about 
'technical stuff', that it's maybe not work-related is simply something 
you didn't divulge, and for most non-tech people, they know better than 
to ask after doing so once or twice).
