Meeting Etiquette for the Utterly Uncoordinated

Because, let's face it, you're going to have to do this.

Rule 1: Arrive Early-ish

Try to get there 5-10 minutes before the meeting, but let's be real, you're probably running late.

Rule 2: Don't Be the Smelliest

Being Late to a Meeting is a Lifestyle

It's not like it's a big deal or anything.

Excuse 1: I was stuck in a meeting

I know, it's ironic, but I was stuck in a meeting that I couldn't get out of. I swear, it was an emergency.

But, uh, not as long as you.

Excuse 2: Traffic was a nightmare

I know, I know, it's always a nightmare. But, honestly, I was trying to get here as fast as I could. I'm pretty sure the traffic was, like, 10% worse than usual.

And, let's be real, I'm not the one causing the congestion.

Excuse 3: I'm allergic to mornings

It's a real thing, Google it. I'm not making it up. I'm basically a vampire.

But, hey, at least I'm consistent, right?
