CMO Attendance Excuses

Sorry, I'm late. My cat is on fire.

I'm not really here, I'm just a holographic projection. My real self is on a conference call with the CEO.

Why did I really come here? Because I heard there would be free snacks.

I'm actually a highly advanced cyborg, and my neural implants are experiencing a temporary glitch.

I have been called away to deal with the imminent threat of the company's coffee machine.

It's a real emergency. The cat's hairball has become lodged in the air vent.
