Professional opozdaniy always have in their Arsenal a few sob stories about how he translated the grandmother across the street, took care of a sick hamster or saved apartment neighbors from the flood. However, all these excuses as old as the world and seriously nobody perceived. Especially if, as you say, neighbors fills with enviable regularity, and grandmother-extremes strive to go under the wheels of the machine whenever you pass by. Throw you this nonsense. 't invent anything you need - just need to develop the right strategy for each situation.
Late for work
You know that your boss can't stand the lack of punctuality and as soon as you rush into the office, will you cut. The situation is unpleasant, but fixable. If you are late, just call, though not, of course, the boss and the Secretary or colleague, who was responsible and you are already working on their papers in the office. Moreover, to call you want, not when you have already arrived at the office, but before that, let's say, 15 minutes. Tell them that you are late, let the boss see what you are a responsible person, time was not too lazy to dial the office phone number. When you call, ask for you to apologize and tell me what the employee is able to replace you, the boss may ask, if he's having some kind of issue that requires prompt decisions. As a result, when you arrive at the office, the boss will lose the desire to give you an earful. First, you already apologized. Secondly, you again have shown responsibility, reassign your duties to someone from the staff.
An important business meeting
In this case, the strongest justification is a tube. Call and tell them that you are in a terrible jam, will be within so many minutes. Arriving at the meeting place, you should not act too slowly. You took a person's time, so try and not further delay. Pre-turn off the mobile phone (I wasn't about to upset the interlocutor melody from "Sex and the city"), take a notebook, pen, file folder. If you start slowly and painfully to rummage in the bag, removing all those essential items a business meeting is unlikely to end well for you profitable. If you will act too hastily, coupled with your delay will create the impression that you loosened, irresponsible person. Don't be surprised if the conclusions that will make your partner will not be in your favor.
Lunch at the restaurant, or the so-called business lunch, a most unfortunate time for business meetings with punctuality person, especially if it's a lady. After all, meeting the woman, polite man will never make the order without it. But to expect when you appear, while sucking in the stomach, you know, - the terrible torture...
Interesting
If the meeting is very important, assign it in the afternoon. In the morning, when we dumped the many unresolved and very important cases, the risk to miss much more than after lunch. Towards evening, people are much more tolerant of late, especially if the meeting takes place somewhere in the restaurant or on the buffet table, where to sweeten the bitterness of expectations can be something from the menu...
Being late on a public event
On presentation, for example, where you are the main character. Here the most horrible is that you fail not one person, but dozens (or even hundreds). There are two options. First, bursting into the room like a whirlwind, to rush to the microphone to apologize for the delay and to refer to some important person, contact with which has forced you to linger. The more important the event, the more important and more solid must be this person. This will not only justify your being late, but will elevate you to a person's solid, very late, as you know, it is not forbidden. Second option: the maximum eye-catching appearance. Was delayed because the door got caught in evening dress, the hem of which now flaunts hole? Down with sensitivity - enter the room, elegantly holding the hem of his weight, apologize, explain the situation and flee to change. You not only forgive, but you will also create a reputation for women bold, which will not be stopped by any obstacles. As you can see, any, even the biggest trouble can be turned in their favor. Just need to know how to use their weaknesses and turn them into advantages.
