You’re one of my coworkers at a juice shop and you’re habitually late and always have some creative excuse. How you can keep coming up with them amazes us. What you don’t know is that the boss schedules you a half-hour earlier than you’re needed in anticipation of your late arrival. What we get is entertained with your repertoire. A few examples: cat got out, neighbor blocked in car, flat tire, took mother to doctor, kids sick, lost keys, toaster caught fire, water heater broke, roof leaked, power went out. Sure, these are all plausible, but within the time frame they all allegedly occurred, well, we’re not swallowing it.
SEND US your anonymous rants and raves about your co-workers or any badly behaving citizen—or about citizens you admire. I SAW YOU, Metro, 550 S. First St., San Jose, 95113, or via email to Is*****@*******ws.com.
