More Awake Now
 

Though not completely. Gonna get myself a decaf coffee and have that and a couple of cigs in the wild, after which I'll return.

Decaf - How will that help you wake up?..

How to Apologize for Being Late to Work

1 - Report your late arrival to the appropriate person, and document it in the way that your company's tardy policy outlines.

2 - Try to give warning before you are late. If you are stuck in traffic, or you have a sick child at home who you need to arrange care for, contact your supervisor immediately.

3 - Tell your boss or supervisor what happened to make you late. Explain the circumstances, whether it was traffic or an illness, or a simple mishap such as the alarm clock not going off.

4 - Contact any co-workers or clients who were left waiting for you. Briefly tell your immediate team members what happened to make you late, if your tardiness affected their ability to work. Say you are sorry and ask what you missed.

5 - Follow up with an apology in writing. If your boss is unavailable when you arrive, send a short email, or leave a brief note on his or her desk. Mention what time you arrived, and express your regrets for the tardiness.

6 - Be honest in your explanation. Outrageous excuses are often not credible. Explain what happened, say you are sorry, and tell your supervisor that it will not happen again.

7 - Do not overcompensate. Try not to give more details than are necessary. One sentence will usually be sufficient.

8 - Remain professional. Your tardiness may cause supervisors or co-workers to become angry and frustrated.

Tips - Try to break the news to your boss before anyone else does. You do not want to have your supervisor hear from someone else that you are late.

Warnings - Avoid being habitually late. According to Career Builder, 32 percent of employers have fired an employee for being late.

just as the routine of waking up, it's just my morning drink, instead of a glass of orange juice or any other drink that doesn't have caffeine :)

also, no bears outside today :thumbsup

LOL, just go back to bed...

nobody drinks drinks for the taste?

I am not drinking, eating junk and sitting all day long anymore :)

My trick is Monster Energy + bag of beef jerky. The protein will help keep you awake.

Also a shower every 3 hours will help get me through an all-nighter.

Those drinks are banned in Lithuania, just in case you were planning to go :winkwink:

"Officials in Lithuania believe higher intakes of caffeine in youth may lead to addiction, hyperactivity and drug use."

I drink it for the taste all day, but that morning cup or 2 is to keep the "bear" away so he doesn't land in my living room. lol

I drink it iced, decaf, any other form that it can be I guess, but that morning version is all about the addiction. lol
