from a colleague who collected these excuses from a woman with whom he worked . . . until they fired her. i might actually use the one about being possessed and turning the alarm off in the middle of the night.
I'm running late after handing off some work in cupertino.
Stuck in traffic on the 85.
Sorry for the late notice. I returned home after getting
stuck in traffic and my stomach started acting up. I am
looking for some medicine for it. Will be back on the
road in a few minutes.
I'm still not doing too well please call my cell if you
need to get a hold of me. Otherwise I'll be back only tommorrow
morning.
I'm trapped at my apt with a big truck double-parked at the
exit to my parking space. There's a police guy issuing
citations - but I'm probably looking at about 20min late.
Sorry about this morning. I hate missing the mtg but had a
hectic weekend and got stuck on the road with no electricity
in any of my half dozen devices.
I'm going stay with my mom this morning until she can stop
freaking out about getting packed for australia. I know I need
to move cubes and will do that sometime today.
Argh I was possessed and turned off the alarm in the middle
of the night. 8-p Am rushing in now. Sorry about that
I caught some kind of a bug this weekend and it's getting worse.
I'm going to take a few hours for some cold medicine to settle
in. Today I'll probably work on setting up my work from home
environment, and then work on some unit tests for object buffer.
I am driving back from an old friend's wedding this weekend
that ended only late last night. I will probably not make it
in until 2pm or so. Sorry about this.
I'm probably not going to make it before rush hour. Will stop by
in the evening. The 5 is really heavily fogged up and slow. I
just now passed Fresno where the really smelly cows are.
I have to take my car in for inspection this morning and will
come in later (noonish) to continue on my weird schedule.
By the end of this week I should have done a full cycle -
and be back to my normal self 8-)
I never made it to car inspection today so will need to try
again tommorrow.
Well I woke up late and then rushed out of the apartment with
my purse locked inside. I was equally stupid getting back inside.
But now I'm in and am going to try to salvage the day by
working offline on my home computer (and then coming to work
bright and early tommorrow like a normal person.)
A lot of traffic on van ness and 101 for some reason. Just in
case - here's my ststus today:
I turned around to get a bunch of notes I forgot in my apt.
Probably shouldn't have but now I'm about 45min behind.
As the traffic grinds to a halt. But the real problem is
I didn't leave time for the rain. Today I'm going to
integrate my code pack from the past couple of days and
work on tying up little sub-projects.
I overslept. :-(
Will be there by 11.
I've been so unproductive. I'm going to use a few morning
golden hours to catch up. Will be in just after noon. Today
I'll be doing what I never did yesterday.
One of my clocks was off. :-(
I'm going to work from home today. ... I'll probably be in
later, (e.g. I like 2pm or 6pm when traffic is nicely out
of the way).
Was going to send this yesterday (deleting verbose info...).
I was never in last nite. My mom had to be hospitalized -
she's real sick. Im got out of kaiser. Will see you at 10:30 mtg.
I have to step out some time between noon and 2 to go get my
mom, and go with her to get some medicine coming in at the
airport. That'll likely take me straight into traffic, and
working from home for the rest of the day.
I'm going now. You can reach me at xxx-xxx-xxxx. I'll also be
on AIM in ~2 hrs.
I overslept. Coming now. Today more of the same.
Locked myself out of the car. :-{
I will be in around 12 noon.
I have to go and take my mom to the doctor's. I'll be reacheable
on AIM.
I forgot some notes at home. Tried to do without but just
can't remember. I'm going to speed to sf and back.
I am on my way. (was up late and dozed off w no alarm)
I guess I got up too fast. Anyway it made me alittle woozy
so I stopped. Anyway I'm good now. Just to be sure I'll get
something to eat => 2hrs +/- 0.5.
I've been blocking traffic on 280. Was rushing and didn't notice
I was out of gas. Now I'll be finishing up what I was rushing for.
Sorry, that took a long time. I'm in and coming now.
Overslept. :( I hate myself sometimes.
I held out till mtg time but am going to remove myself. I stayed
up trying to finish up some stuff but am now a little bit too
delirious too see what I did. To protect it from episodes of
stupid self-destruction, I'm going to visit my apt.
I'm not feeling very well. Will be in just after lunch.
I'm not feeling much better. Not doing much so I'll be in this
weekend.
(The whole weekend too :( )
I was a little sick earlier this morning and stayed + waited for
some medicine to kick in. Am good now on my way.
I woke up early today w/ a low fever and increasingly not feeling
so hot as the morning went on.
Today I really need to re-organize my tasks, and [work stuff]
I might try to come in. Just because I actually woke up early.
But the best bet to reach me is probably cell
