I mean who doesn't use excuses? And, by the way, I forgot is a totally legitimate excuse when you actually did forget, which happens to me all the time. Course, it doesn't make you feel any better. I'm starting to think I have a serious memory problem. I tried using a notebook, but then I forget where I last put my notebook. The only thing that actually works is to write the important things on my hand, can't loose that and have to look at it at least a few times a day. :) I think I’d definitely have to go with the “I’m just not ambitious” option.

I have to agree with you Juls, I use quite a few of those, and I don't think "slacker" is a term used on me. (Though I'm not dying to be ambitious either - the term "faithful" is fine with me.) a) That’s the way we’ve always done it. - Well, if there's a policy/way of doing it, and I ain't the boss, heck, I'm not going to take responsibility for changing it. - 'Tis life sometimes. c) That’s not in my department. - This one NEVER works for me. I get stuff from other regions, let alone other departments, so forget about using this one. - Just grin and bear it. e) I’m waiting for an okay. - Hey, this one is VERY valid. - And saves my butt many a times. h) Wait till the boss comes back & ask him. - Well, I say "wait till the boss comes back, and then I'LL ask him." (Never let them get to the boss. :P) i) I forgot. - And? Who doesn't?! I literally dream of work - sometimes I don't even know if I actually did the work or not, and though I've gotten good at asking folks if per chance I actually dreamt of getting back to them, or are they still waiting to hear from me (little do they know how serious I am in asking), it happens. :( All that to say, I don't agree. It all depends on what context they're used in. Whoa! I have to agree with you Juls, I use quite a few of those, and I don’t think “slacker” is a term used on me.

a) That’s the way we’ve always done it. - Well, if there’s a policy/way of doing it, and I ain’t the boss, heck, I’m not going to take responsibility for changing it. - ‘Tis life sometimes.

c) That’s not in my department. - This one NEVER works for me. I get stuff from other regions, let alone other departments, so forget about using this one. - Just grin and bear it.

e) I’m waiting for an okay. - Hey, this one is VERY valid. - And saves my butt many a times.

h) Wait till the boss comes back & ask him. - Well, I say “wait till the boss comes back, and then I’LL ask him.” (Never let them get to the boss. :P)

All that to say, I don’t agree. It all depends on what context they’re used in.
