You've been granted an exception to the attendance policy. However, don't think this means you're off the hook that easily. There are consequences.
As it turns out, your "pretending" to eat the last donut was so convincing that we're willing to let you slide this time.
But let this be a warning: next time, don't even think about pretending. We have eyes in the back of our heads (or at least, in the break room).
Now, go forth and pretend to be productive. Or, you know, just go forth.
