It's not that I'm lazy it's just that I don't care...
Ah yes..such a great line from "Office Space" to get out of work and do nothing...
And on that topic, I need excuses to get out work early today, so I can take more boxes to our new home from our old apartment, and also perhaps do a little prep work for the painting that shall commence tomorrow morning. See, the movers come Tuesday. And we have to take the fragile stuff over, tape the floorboards and so forth..the masking..prime the dang walls..and paint. The must haves are the master bedroom, the living room and the office. The kitchen is the next priority and the downstairs bathroom is the bottom priority. That is a lot of work...and all before Tuesday. I have Tuesday and Wednesday off to help the UN-packing, but not anytime before.
So..whats it going to be? How do I leave early..when they know I do not have any client meetings..and using the "family emergency" excuse at 2pm on a Friday might be..just a wee bit bogus. Hmmm..I suppose I could be honest.."I just need to work on my house before the movers come..." but that might be a little too honest.
So..I plead to you, oh faithful reader or two that I have..give me a non-bunk excuse!

It's 4th of July weekend & you want to avoid traffic because you're going to the beach. Or you just want to avoid traffic. Hell, I'm leaving at 2.
Just had another thought. If you even come close to 26 or 217 on your drive home you should mention that.
I have an appointment with Veterinarian because we have to put down our cat, he has been sick for a long time and we have to put him out its misery....
...while your co-workers eyes fill with tears and their offer their condolenses, do like a banana and split.
send out for ipecac and start vomiting. they'll send you right home.
Happy Painting!
Gosh, I have no advice. I suck at this stuff!
Sorry I wasn't in time to offer advice, but I usually go with a doctor or dentist appointment, for some really crappy procedure, like a prostate exam or getting a root canal.
I'm bored at work. It's 4:05 and my boss has already left. I'm about to climb the walls. Just thought I'd say hi. :-D
