The annual death of her mother

[susandennis]

We have an admin they hired about six months ago who has a bit of an attendance problem - as in she can't quite grasp the concept. So far, she has told me on three different occassions that she had to leave early (like noon) to go pick up her final divorce decree. That sucker must be heavy!!

It reminds me of the email I got at work once (another company) about a co-worker who had the same problem. She had trouble with the showing up and also with the excuses.

"Joan won't be in again today or tomorrow due to the annual death of her mother."
