Thursday Threesome: Excuses, excuses
Posted in Thursday Threesome, Writing on 06/11/2009 09:58 am by ifferjennOn the Thursday Threesome, I’ll choose a theme and describe three things that have to do with that theme. Yikes! I didn’t realize it’s been so long since I’ve done one of these. So, appropriately, this week’s theme is excuses, particularly for those of use working in the digital age:
- ”The server went down” - A classic digital excuse, but still tried and true with about half the population. Just make sure you are giving this excuse to someone who doesn’t know how to check a server’s status…or someone who isn’t friends with the IT Department.
- ”The timestamp on my computer is wrong” – I like this one myself. I could use that one today, as usually my entries do go up at 8:00, and it’s a bit past that now. I do use a variation on that, in that I have a slim idea of where the WordPress headquarters are, because while my timestamp is currently set around 10:00…it’s around 1:00 in my time zone.
- ”The mouse ate my homework” – Okay, I wouldn’t really try this one out. Though at least it’s easier to believe as there is actually a mouse connected to your computer…and it would be hard to explain what a dog was doing near your hard drive.
