So I went to see harry potter last night (had to go with an old old old ex girlfriend as both of us were in a similar situation that none of our friends would go with us! :P we both get on well and it wasn't like that at all, no really) and because I got back home late when my alarm went off this morning at 6.30, snooze, snooze, turn off. Awake at 9. shit. :gonk:

manage to get into work for 10.10. so not too bad considering I live about 40mins away.

I bloody knackered too.

Anyway anyone else had something you've done the night before made you late or runied the next day?
 
I'll try not to make this spam, per se, even though I have the urge to blast people for Harry Potter. Anyways, yea.. been late on countless occasions for work. Whether it be this job or the next, but I always have good communication skills and throw when I'm going to be in approximately.

1) Chasing a dog around for 30 minutes outside, because he would not come in.

2) Chasing a cat around for an hour outside, because he would not come in.

3) Slept passed my alarm due to drinking the night before.

4) Sex.

5) Food

6) Knee injury.

7) Battery in car died, as well as alternator shot to hell.

8) Gym workout went beyond normal hours.

These are all pretty much excuses, although they are "reasons" I didn't use them as a crutch.
 
Yeah its the second time i've been in late this week, but the hours at my work are sorta flexi so as long as you do you're weekly hours and don't take the piss too much they're cool with. Just means a long day for me today!

The tuesday excuse was watching series 7 of 24 til 2am Tuesday morning. So Jack Bauer made me late for work then.

My Car despite being old has never made me late yet. Food - I always eat so thats included in my prep time! ^_^

Living alone has its pitfalls, when I was with flatmates they've woken me up a couple of times - KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK, "Riley, are you up?"
- "..........FUCK!!!!!" shower, dressed, munch, door, power walk.


 
Tourists. I live in a coastal town and the idiot tourists drive along at 5mph, pointing at all the pretty things WHILE I'M TRYING TO GET TO WORK

Click to expand...
When I injured my knee earlier this year, instead of making me sleep in, it made me wake up extremely early. I woke up around six on a Saturday morning, which is odd since I usually sleep until noon. It did ruin the that day for me, though since I didn't feel like going anywhere with my knee hurting like hell. I ended up spending that whole Saturday in my room, alone. D=

I guess I sort of sleep in often, since I'm a night person. I end up staying awake pretty late most nights. <_<
 
Sex.

Whenever I'm late to work it's always because of sex.

I get up, get dressed, make lunch and just as I go to say bye to my partner it happens. XD

Then I'm rushed for time, having to once again leave my comfy bed and then throw my clothes back on again.

I'm rarely late to work, but when I am, this is why. XD
 
Hahaha the amount of times Ive done that.....the snooze button is the devil really ¬¬

Usually mine was getting drunk on a Thursday, for fuck knows WHAT reason, I cant even think WHY I would have been getting slaughtered on a school night knowing fine WELL I have work in the morning....Id usually make it on time, seeing as a hangover always gets me up at the most unreasonable of times, but Id generally just be sat there, head on desk all day willing the time to go faster ¬¬

I was always late for work though, Im just useless with mornings, I dont even have a decent excuse half the time other than staying up to late for no good reason, I literally used to get on my hands and knees when I got in, crawl past the managers desk and pretend Id been there since 9....I got away with it sometimes, othertimes I came in with the postman through the back, infact Elvis (postys nickname) saw me one time on my way in - late as usual and he gave me a lift in his postman pat van, that guy was awesome :wacky:
 
When I had my last job I was late for almost every shift, luckily my boss didn't really give a shit. I was usually late by just 5-10 minutes and when I knew I was going to be ridiculously late I would call in.

I never bothered giving excuses, I never had any real reasons for being late, usually it was just something like watching T.V for a little longer than I should've. Plus my boss knew that I didn't have a good reason for always being late, so I didn't see the point in trying to make excuses.

Obviously it was not a good habit to get into and it is something I will need to improve on when I get a new job..
