Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: LOL! Whenever I WAS up the night before reading a book (it happens often), and I don't get something important done, whatever, I tell them, "I was up really late last night working hard on a very important project and I was just SO exhausted that I fell asleep while I was doing your thing!." (or whatever it is I didn't do right) And then I always look tired, (side effects of always being up late) so they believe me!. It's mostly true!. Books ARE an important project!. This works about 3/4 of the time, unless I had a long time to do whatever it was I didn't do!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Well, with my boss it wouldn't "fly" simply because reading is for leisure and I should be better aware of the fact that I have work the very next day!. We readers are SO misunderstood!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Hehe Love excuses!! But for some reason the only time i can get away with something is when i fake a note from my "grandma" saying i had to go somewhere and she forgot the excuse! hehe it works!Www@QuestionHome@Com I never give them an excuse!. I PAY to go to that class, I really don't think it's their business why I'm late!.
