Work excuses

Heres the situation, on Sunday I had work but didn't know what time I was starting. It was either at 12 noon or 10am and if it was 10am it meant I was opening, meaning having to boil the green/red tea, make milk tea, coffee etc. Called in on Saturday night around 11pm but no one answered. On Saturdays they're supposed to close at 1am.

So I had a dilemma, what time should I go in to work tomorrow? I decided to take the risk of going in at 12 just because I wanted more sleep but I prepared an excuse in advance just in case I was supposed to start at 10. As it so happens, that night was when you adjusted your clock an hour forward for daylight savings.

10:40 I get a call
"hello?"
"hi its sherry, did you know you're supposed to be opening today?"
"yup"
"oh ... did you change your clock an hour ahead?"
"ohhhhh it was last night?"
"yes"
"oh so sorry I'll come to work right now"
"okay see you there"

....and that was it ;p

Whats your best work excuse?
