Late to Work - An Excuse

I had a professor in grad school that said - "there is no such thing as a good excuse". He didn't want to hear about our computers crashing, which is the modern version of 'the dog ate my homework'.

At first I thought it was harsh, but I came around.

But this morning, when I just had to keep stopping to take pictures of the fog,

it was so tempting to just say,

"Whoa, that fog was thick this morning! I could barely see past my steering wheel! I had to go 2 miles per hour. It took me forevvverrrrr to get here!"
