BC: Feb 9. Trudy the Perpetually Late Secretary
"Where have you been?"----- Make up a creative reason for being late to an important function.
I had been working in the legal field for a while when I chance to meet Trudy, the perpetually late secretary for my boss. She was very creative. Dan, the office manager set up a chart and when she came in with an excuse for being late, he would put it on the chart. It became a game. "Trudy, you used that one yesterday." and she would have to come up with a different one. Sometimes, she actually had some really unique ones and he got to make a new entry on his chart. He loved those.
My favorite was "My cat ate my alarm clock."
That's not true, my real favorite is "Trudy, I don't want to hear it. And why are you wearing your shirt upside down?" "I spilled something on it and I felt I had to let it dry, but I put it on newsprint and it seeped through and I didn't want it to show, so I put it on like this to let it dry."
I'm telling you, Trudy has you all beat. Truth is stranger than fiction and Trudy was stranger than all of you put together.
