Hi everybody!
It's Monday, how are you?
Excuses for Monday Morning
- If it is all the same to you, I won't be coming in to work. The voices told me to clean all the guns today.
- I set half the clocks in my house ahead an hour and the other half back an hour Saturday, and spent 18 hours in some kind of space-time continuum loop, reliving Sunday (right up until the explosion). I was able to exit the loop only by reversing the polarity of the power source exactly e*log(pi) clocks in the house while simultaneously rapping my dog on the snout with a rolled up Times. Accordingly, I will be in late, or early.
- My stigmata's acting up.
- I can't come in to work today because I'll be stalking my previous boss, who fired me for not showing up for work. OK?
- I have a rare case of 48-hour projectile leprosy, but I know we have that deadline to meet...
- I am stuck in the blood pressure machine down at the Food Giant.
- Yes, I seem to have contracted some attention-deficit disorder and, hey, how about them Hoyas, huh? So, I won't be able to, yes, could I help you? No, no, I'll be sticking with Sprint, but thank you for calling.
- Constipation has made me a walking time bomb.
- I just found out that I was switched at birth. Legally, I shouldn't come to work knowing my employee records may now contain false information.
- The psychiatrist said it was an excellent session. He even gave me this jaw restraint so I won't bite things when I am startled.
- The dog ate my car keys. We're going to hitchhike to the vet. In fact I am not sure whether it was my dog or my cat. I think I must take both of them along. The vet will decide.
- My mother-in-law has come back as one of the Undead and we must track her to her coffin to drive a stake through her heart and give her eternal peace. One day should suffice.
- I am converting my calendar from Julian to Gregorian so, technically, it is not Monday.
- I am extremely sensitive to a rise in the interest rates.
- I can't come to work today because the EPA has determined that my house is completely surrounded by wetlands and I have to arrange for helicopter transportation.
- This Monday I prefer to remain an enigma.
Have a lovely week!
pst, pst...what's your fav excuse?

The interest rates one had me giggling...I might try that with my boss later on! :)
ReplyDeleteIt did sound professional, at least compared to the others, thanks Mel for a visit!
ReplyDeleteI liked the last one. I prefer to remain an enigma. No rest for me today. Got an exam tomorrow. :-(
ReplyDeleteThose must be American. I usually call in sick with a migraine. Which is very often true.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I love those, I wonder what someone would say if I tried the calendar one ;)
ReplyDeleteMy fav..oh I was just outside, but it took me a while to get it, lame
Good luck at your exam, The Red Witch! Let Loki help you!
ReplyDeleteAurian they are international I suppose; poor your little headachy head!
Blodeuedd - try to invent another one!
I would gladly have used any excuse this morning. Alas, I came to work anyway.
ReplyDeletepoor carol, my commiseration!
ReplyDeleteHm... now I'm hungry for pi... uh pie... :)
ReplyDeleteMy calendar is set on Aztec. It's almost over...
Hey! :) Love this post. So many great excuses for Mondays. I'm going to print this out so I can try to use them. ;D Hope you are doing well. Missed stopping around while doing Nano, but I'm done now. :)
ReplyDeleteMelissa (BaT) - I think I might switch to your calendar as well...the end is coming!
ReplyDeleteMelissa (My World...) welcome and glad to see you again! So you survived NaNo! Great to have you back! *hug*
@Good luck at your exam, The Red Witch! Let Loki help you!
ReplyDeleteBut you can't trust Loki, you can't even trust Odin.
Oh, you can trust Loki as long as it amuses him ;). Just pretend this exam is a joke!
ReplyDeleteThe second one was definitely my favorite! I was laughing so hard at the lengthy ridiculous of it. Trapped in space-time continuum loop! LOL!
ReplyDeleteLOL, it can happen to anybody, Jen, believe me or not, I have been trapped more than once...;)
