This is not an excuse to miss work story, but kind of the opposite. In my young adulthood, I worked as a CNA in a trauma ICU. I worked swing shifts, which would have me working a day shift one day and the night shift the next, which was SO HARD on me. I would frequently show up to work on shifts that I was not scheduled for because I couldn't keep it straight and then just end up working the unscheduled shift.

"I'm stuck between a train that hit a cement truck and a Semi that couldn't make it up the hill and jack knifed, I'll be late." True story, sent pictures too. Joys of living on a rural gravel road with ditches that even my jeep wouldn't be able to traverse off roading.

Last year I had a parent tell me their son couldn’t log in because he was helping his dad build a house up north (MI) and didn’t have internet. I wasn’t sure about that until we’re now doing the same thing, haha! But, I made sure we got internet, thank you StarLink!

Many years ago, we had Black Angus cattle and somehow acquired a Holstein. She should have been named Houdini because she was always getting out of the fence. I would check on them before I went to work each day and one particular morning, Houdini was not there. I called into work (and the kids missed school) so I could trek through the woods on a very cool morning to find her. It took several hours, but we finally did and put her back into the fence.
