Not wanting to be accused of plagiarism but with excuses for not turning up I find it tough to go past Jake in the Blues Brothers – “Honest… I ran out of gas. I… I had a flat tire. I didn’t have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts! IT WASN’T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD! “

My grandma died (it was my other grandma last time) and the funeral is tomorrow, so I need to buy something black to wear.

Sorry I have put in so many hours already this week my body thought it was Saturday now and forgot to wake me up.
The best call I ever received was, (in my NSW office at 10am Monday) was, “you know how I went to Adelaide for the weekend with my new man well we had so much fun that we are still here so Iguess I will see you Wednesday or Thursday depending how long it takes us to drive back”. Honest at least!

Trying to do the right thing I used public transport, only the train from Melbourne to Sydney (actually it is a bus from Melbourne to Albury – due to track work – yep, in the school holidays) was over an hour late, therefore I missed my connection to the south coast line which doesn’t run very regularly, so I will catch the next one, realising again I will have to get off at Waterfall to catch a bus to Wollongong (due to track work – yes as well in the school holidays) and then I will have to change at Kiama to catch another train to Bombaderry at which point I will have missed my lift to Ulladulla. Sorry it has only taken me an extra 5 hours to come home and given my working day is 7 hours – no point coming in eh? That’s what happens when you try to do the right thing and use public transport.

Because I care so much about my workmates I have decided to stay home and not share my germs with them. I am only thinking of others. I will stay home and suffer in a quiet, unassuming, selfless way.

The door handle broke off as I tried to leave my apartment, and now I am trapped inside until the landlord comes to rescue me.

I saw my shrink and she says I have foxtophobia so I can’t possibly leave the house of a Friday. Ever again. Until I’m cured.

It’s Friday the 13th & there is a black cat lying in the sun in the doorway, so I can’t leave the house or something very, very bad will happen. Hopefully the cat won’t still be there on Monday, so I’ll see you then. That’s OK – isn’t it?!?!

The best one I heard was from a guy I worked with who had just been given notice, he rang the next day to say he wouldn’t be in as he “had a bad taste in his mouth”

Awkward situation….I was abducted last night. Horrible thing it was…..Still can’t sit down.
The doc thinks my traumored bits should be sufficiently unclenched to return to work Monday. What a bummer huh.
