to think that "my car won't start" is not a reason for not coming to work

[OhDearNigel]

When you live on a bus route that will get you to your office ? Colleague phoned in with "car problems" which apparently mean she can't come in for the rest of the week . She lives round the corner from my parents so I know full well that there is a bus route that goes pretty much from outside her house and goes past our office so it's not as if she can't get there

How does autocorrect get enhancing from mechanic? Time to take it to a mechanic etc.

My boss is so evil that when I had the perfectly valid excuse of not being able to get to work in the snow, not able to drive or walk safely even though it is walking distance, the bastard came and got me for my shift, then took me home in the morning after my shift. This was every shift until the snow melted.

Mama that sounds lovely!
I assume she wasn't in today op?

IABU luckily I never had to do it. I would have been hopeless
