So today I arrived at work at 11.08...
I'm not proud of it, but I'm not ashamed either: I could have arrived earlier if it wasn't so difficult to get through public transport. Nevertheless I woke up at 9.36 when I usually leave the flat almost exactly one hour before... basically I have no excuse.
I didn't even make up any excuse, I just dampened the truth a little.
Some people though could go through heaven and hell to find the right excuse, but then it would all depend on how you say it and most importantly how often.
So for those people who do blaber about, telling their bosses that and asteroid hit a public toilet and then the seat burst your tire leaving your car to swirle into a pile of elephant dung, just stop; they won't believe you anyway. Just admit you're wrong, it'll make your boss feel more powerfull (you'll see that with that small smirk he'ld be pulling) and then he would leave you to you business while he goes look at himself in the mirror.
That's all there is to it: lies won't get you anywhere.
