5 Excuses for Being Late: The South Jersey Edition
We officially begin Daylight Savings Time this Sunday morning at 2 a.m., which means we also lose a precious hour of sleep with the clocks moving forward.
The last thing you want to do is to be late on Monday morning and use Daylight Savings Time as your reason for being tardy. So, we thought we would help you out by coming up with some excellent excuses for being late on Monday or any other day. Feel free to use the following whenever necessary.

1 Glass of Wine Turned Into a Whole Bottle Last Night
I hate to admit this, but I've come close to using this excuse. I'm sure your boss will understand your reason for being late, especially if he or she is a wine lover.

Had to Wait for Bruce's Song to End on the Radio
Maybe your boss will understand if you tell him or her that you were listening to "Jungleland", which any Bruce fan will know is over 9 minutes long. You'll score extra points if you tell your boss you were listening to Lite Rock! Then again, maybe not...

I Had to Wait For a Fresh Batch of Wawa Coffee
You may be in trouble if your boss is a Wawa coffee lover, because they will surely know that Wawa always has huge containers of fresh coffee pretty much 24/7. I'll take an extra large hazelnut!

Mom Made Meatballs and Gravy
You can substitute sauce for gravy if you prefer. Of course with a last name like Guida, it will always be gravy to me. You might score some extra points if you actually bring in a dish for your boss.

I Had No Clean Pants to Wear
For some reason, I actually like this excuse the best. FYI: You're on your own if you do decide to use this or any of the reasons listed above!

Bonus: How About We Discuss it Later
You might want to try this if you've run out of every possible excuse. This one just might work especially if your boss doesn't have the best memory and you both "forget" to talk about it later.
