I like to put a bandaid over the vein in my elbow and say I had to get blood work done.

I also like to change my tire to a spare the night before. Then when I roll into work late I just tell them I had a flat.

I told my ex that I died in a car accident so that I didn’t have to pay child support anymore

I was carjacked by a black mermaid and when I got back home I learned my house had been robbed by a white burglar

This is why working from home is the best.

I live in Houston so I always blame traffic. I’m usually not lying.

Buy a half dozen donuts and bring them to work. If they ask why I was late I mention I had to stop and pick up donuts for the branch.

If you need an excuse like you are 5, just tell them you ate some bad oysters the night before..

I just make up for coming in late by leaving early. Have to maintain that work / life balance.

I can probably count on one hand how many times I've been late. It's my greatest anxiety.

Just couldn't make it on time.

It was like a full crowd scene at the food line.

This man gets it. Clocking in and out is silly for most of us. I understand some have to do it. Industrial/shift jobs. Retail, fast food.

But to answer the question…I just show up and if someone asks I say “kids…you know.”
