This might be the all-time best excuse yet
Inappropriately Dressed Admin, who I have mentioned before, is the master of coming up with lame-ass excuses for leaving and/or not coming to work.

Take yesterday, for instance.

She was here until maybe 1:00.

Her direct supervisor (and the only other person in her department right now, as her actual boss is still on maternity leave) went to lunch.

IDA seizes the moment to skedaddle out of work.

She told the front desk she "spilled pop on her shirt" and had to go home.

The best part? She was wearing ALL BLACK.

And please tell me how having spilled pop on your shirt hinders the ability to sit at a computer for two more hours? (She leaves at 3). Because I am absolutely flabbergasted.

Now, if she truly is "Inappropriately Dressed Admin"...why not shed the shirt and carry on??

Good point, Cops. She seems to have no problem in horrifying all of us with her heeled plastic sandals and too-tight shirts which reveal all her fat rolls... why not just revolt us completely and go shirtless?

I know! The pop soaked through her black shirt and stained her (other) colored bra. Yeah, still a lame excuse but I give her points for creativity.

Spillage aside...who the hell calls it "pop" anymore?

Actually the "pop" vs. "soda" conflict is a regional one. I know that northeast Ohio says "pop" but we may be the last holdouts. I know if you cross the border into Pittsburgh, they say "soda," they say "soda" up in Chicago (I asked for two "pops" there once and got a funny look)... -Kat
