There Is a Peacock In My Car

There is a peacock in my car. The cows were I the road again. I ran into the back of a semi. I almost ran into the back of a semi. My basement flooded. My husband took both sets of car keys. I was bitten by a raccoon and had to get a rabies shot. My house is on fire. My car is on fire. My dog is on fire. My chicken coop is on fire. My sink is on fire. I had to find a home for the stranger I found on my couch this morning. Just a few of the excuses I have used when I am late for work.

Oh my, must be several employers in the mix here, because surely you would survive a job using all of these excuses. I love you, Caren, but I think I would have shown you the door with "I was bitten by a raccoon and had to get a rabies shot." Yeah, that would have done it! LOL

Hahaha. I tried out 28 jobs before I found a career I love and I have had this career for 26 years. Some jobs I successfully eliminated before noon the first day.
