I Think I Also Ran Over a Kid

Brutus, in a coat and carrying an umbrella, arrives at work. Veeblefester is standing there, angry because the CEO of the company has nothing better to do. "You're late!" Veeblefester fumes. "I'm sorry, Chief! I missed the bus so I had to drive my car to work. Would it make you feel any better to know that I got a speeding ticket trying to get here on time?" Brutus asks. "Well, yes it does make me feel better! Thank you for letting me know of your misfortune."
I always feel that you are going to be late, have a good story. Even if you make it up. I understand that your employees have to be at work at a certain time, but at the same time I'm like, things happen. Just let me know you're going to be late and don't let it become a habit. If your schedule is a problem then we need to talk about it. It's an attitude like that which is probably why I'm never considered managerial material.

Wait. Brutus would have to leave earlier in order to ride the bus so why is he late? He must've really overslept.
