Sorry I'm Late....

My Boss comes into work between 11:30am to 1:00pm every day. Lately it's been consistent at 12:15pm though. We're supposed to all be there in the office by 9:00am, but she doesn't have to be there because shes gets to sleep in, go to the gym, makes her way through her favorite thrift stores for the latest deals, and goes through the McDonald's drive thru right before running into the office. She is of course sweating in a black sweat suit that I'm pretty sure hasn't been washed in a couple of weeks, with no makeup on, hair all matted and pulled up in a high pony tail. I cannot tell you how many times she has come in and a client sees her like this. It's so embarrassing.

There's always a new, "Sorry I'm late" excuse. These are just the ones I heard from this week.

"Sorry I'm late! I was up watching Breaking Bad late last night."

 I watched half a season of Breaking Bad in a night and made it to work on time. Not an excuse.

"Sorry I'm late! There was a sale at the thrift store." 

That's no excuse for missing the weekly staff meeting. Especial if it’s for a sale at a thrift store.

"Sorry I'm late! My sons failing at school."

That has nothing to do with you being late. That's called bad parenting.

"Sorry I'm late! I found the greatest deal on Craigslist list!"

You look at Craigslist at work anyway you might as well look at Craigslist at 9:00am in your office.

"Sorry I'm late! I was up all night wondering how we're going to get you married."

Now that's just creepy. I don't even lose sleep worrying about that. I don't know why you are.

If you own a business never show up late and lie about why you are late.You just lose all respect from your employees when you do.
