Personally, I think companies are far too rigid in terms of time requirements and would probably find that the work force is happier and more productive it they allowed staff flexible hours and telecommuting opportunities but if you’re late to work (like I normally am), the CNN article highlights the excuses to avoid. To think that some people actually tried to get away with some of these:

1. While rowing across the river to work, I got lost in the fog.

3. I had to go audition for American Idol.

9. I was trying to get my gun back from the police.

My next excuse when I’m late is going to be “I have transient amnesia and couldn’t remember my job.”

Oops! Maybe I shouldn’t have blogged that!
