I woke up 2 hours late for a flight from Amsterdam to Athens on a new year's day. My cheap-ass ticket wouldn't allow for a later flight.
Yes, I should have figured.

oh jaysus my last night in Japan back in january involved a drinking session of gargantuan proportions inside this strange burrow of the wierdest bars in osakas amerika district, after this insane club we hooked up with this bunch of crazy osakan hiphop kids and was in an izakaya drinking while they busted out all these crazy freestyle raps until 6am, afterwards I left my friend asleep in mos burger with his head on the table (i think we had nearly had a fight with each other also), went back to the hotel about 7am, got a phonecall at 10.20 saying that we should have checked out - I was supposed to be at the airport 20 mins ago to check in, flight at 11.45 - got my shit together quicksharp and got them to call me a cab, I was shouting "haiku haiku!" (faster faster) to the driver all the way (nearly an hour drive - cost me 70 fucking quid), got there and was ferried through the airport looking like death by a hot stewardess, got on the plane with seconds to spare suffering the worst hangover ever. I hadnt even said bye to my mate who was staying on for another few weeks hahah.
When I finally got to heathrow like 13 hours later, I got pulled over by customs asking me all these questions cos I must have looked so ruined, thankfully I didn't get the cavity search.

because of me being in acting senior management level i don't have to answer to no fucker so, i am never 'late'- saying that, if i happen to be running, as some might say, 'slightly behind schedule'-i'd A: send a message from my blackberry or B: phone ahead to my secretary, bev. in my position, i'm never really away from 'work', i'm always doing things i.e planning, managing, strategy, writing seminars, testing things and stuff. saying that, when i hold appraisals for my staff i'm (in charge of 35)-i can come down quite hard on punctuality...especi ally on some of the girls, it's quite a good feeling giving the birds a ticking off, they respect me a bit more cos, i'm the boss and that, and normally get pestered for sex later, which i never turn down. daft eh??

i dont know if was due to waking up late,
but right after i dropped out of college i had to take a really boring job at a large corporate company. I was suposed to take minutes for my boss in a board meeting and fell asleep. only to wake up (who knows when later) to a room full of director level people staring at me. i was promptly let go.

That sucks Ian!
What I loved about my government job was that I started earlier than my boss. So I had about 1h before my boss got in to be late if I had to be, and do whatever I wanted. My boss didn't even check up on me that much. Maybe once a day or something, and it would usually be after lunch.
My co-workers and I didn't converse with each other either because we were behind huge cubicles. And you could take off whenever and no one would really notice.
*ahem, I didn't actually do these things, but it was pretty obvious that a lot of people didn't care or know about what everyone else was doing.
I'm going to try and get that job again this summer, haha.

this happened to me a few weeks ago! Was staying at a GIRL'S house and work up late ran up the road to the bus stop the TIP on my PENIS snapped! So I had to catch the bus home to change my PENIS and then get two buses to work I got in about 11am!!!! Edinburgh buses are shit! Plus it was my favourite PENIS!!
I tried to paraphrase for blokes to understand, it should do the trick.

i woke at 10am once...about 2 hours after i'm supposed to be at the office.
I called my boss to let him know that i was coming in.
When i finally got to the office, he asked what the deal was, and i told i didn't know...just slept in late.
His response was to laugh maniacally, and call me sleepyhead for the next couple days.
