apology message with an excuse of being stuck in traffic when my phone started ringing, and it was my boss.
Nice try with this lie George xD. Anyways it happens and for me I think it's better to just say the truth haha. Anyways It's good that you were able to deliver a good report so at least it can makeup for missing that important meeting.
Honestly, I wish I could tell the truth but sometimes, things don't work that way and moreover, I wasn't ready to lose my job even though I thought I had.
No doubt, it's good to always tell the truth regardless.
That's true . For me, I'm a bad liar so i just choose to give it real . It's ok though a job is important to protect! glad you were able to keep your job :)
