Hes an ex navy personel.


Navy personel as in "don't ask, don't tell"? ;) Otherwise, I still think he'll let you slide.

Then change it to "two guys" and problem solved!

tell him it was a threesome with two guys, then...

Alright men, that horse appears to be nothing more than a bloody pulp now. Our job here is done!

Hey now! I've had several bosses that maintained the philosophy that "getting some" was the only reason we could be late for work and not get in trouble for it...

I agree, tell the truth. Also mention that you have been feeling very lethargic (sp?) lately and have made an appointment to see a doctor. One, you're being honest. Two, you're taking action to fix the problem.

No, it's being smart. Employers seek honesty, it also shows confidence, worthiness, and self responsiblily.

You should definitely call and do something asap.
NOT calling would be worse.

Just tell him you were with me ;)

Just a hunch, but I don't think he was referring to the honesty bit...

1. tell him that you were unavailable. Don't give specifics. If he asks for details jsut say that it is somethign realyl embarrasing
2. Tell him that you recognize that you forgot to call him. Acknowledge that you were completely in the wrong. Let him know that you definitly sympathize with him and will
work to remedy this


and don't do it again
