I have a history buff co-worker who sent this to me. It was in the context of people making lame excuses for not doing what they were required or supposed to do. The excuses that these ancient Egytians are making for missing work sound plausible
On that date, a worker named Pennub missed work because his mother was ill. Other employees were absent due to their own illnesses. One Huynefer was frequently “suffering with his eye.” Seba, meanwhile, was bit by a scorpion. Several employees also had to take time off to embalm and wrap their deceased relatives.
In our case, we were waiting on B to provide us information to complete a project we are working on together. B would be habitually non-responsive, no-show for meetings that were scheduled based on his preferred time. There was that one time when he said he could not do the job we needed him to do because he was having to work on getting promoted - it was wildly funny but he might have the last laugh yet when he does get promoted to the level of his incompetency.
