An excuse to cancel please (yes, Iabu)

I recently signed up for a free IT webinar to learn new career related skills which is run by volunteers/ not for profit organisation.
I thought it was a good idea to sign up for a few weeks ago, this was earlier in quarantine when I had planned to be much more productive 😅

The webinar is quite long, and I’ll be expected to look presentable and to have done some prep before hand. It starts at 8.30am

I feel like a terrible, lazy person but I forgot to prepare anything, and instead of going to bed on time I‘ve been up drinking wine.

I really don’t feel like waking up on time, can anyone help me think of a BS excuse to email the webinar coach tomorrow?

Wonder if it would be ok if I said ‘Sorry I’m no longer able to attend’ and left it at that

Sounds like 'turn up on time, ready to work' is the career skill you need to learn first!

I imagine other people will drop out too - just say you have family problems (who doesn't?)

Say you've got the virus?

You sound fabulous, op

I planned to finish my HSE course online during lockdown but I just cba and post on here instead!

Your internet was down?

As someone who has set up many a webinar.

I wouldn’t even worry about this. A huge number of people sign up to free ones all the time and don’t turn up.
Some cancel, most don’t. It’s just the way it goes.

Have a lie in OP

Just forget all about it.

A webinar on a Bank Holiday? They must be gluttons for punishment.

Why do they care what you wear? In any event you can get away with just having a presentable top half.
