As an old retired manager myself, you aint got no chance on that one pal, he or she will know it because they have probably used it themselves in an earlier part of their career Best of luck though, I ONCE got away with it Please let us know how you get on with it. Good advice, if you're late for work, apologise profusely, I know I fell for all number of sob storys several times and only realised I'd been conned afterwards

I once told a manager when asked, that i was late because i have a "medical condition" thinking it obvious that i was being facetious. However they seemed to either believe it or gave up on me and rarely again asked me why i was late, if they did id just say "sorry, medical condition!". I never did bother thinking what id say if asked what the medical condition was.
