Lie – o – meter

Early morning:

 5 minutes more please! Lemme sleep..

Half an hour later:
 5 more minute Pleeeease!

Late morning:
 I’m sorry Mr.Ganwot(fictitious name. Suiting all cultures, countries and religions!), I got caught up in a very bad mess of traffic (these words mean a traffic jam. Over utilisation of words to stress how bad the imaginary traffic was to make the point home that ‘I was not late, but for the traffic’)

Between Morning and Noon:
 ”I’m caught up already in the middle of three projects. Please contact me later”

Near noon:
 Mr Ganwot: “Has that !$^#@%$ (something concerning work. Trivial. Unimportant. For us) been finished?
 You: “It is complete. Just that I have to do this and that and stuff in it.. blah(that essentially amounts to 85% of the work remaining).” (A picture post card scenery of the work almost complete in an instant presentation session. Blatant lies. Blame on software. Server hacked, down or better yet crashed. (Some go to the extent of crashing it deliberately))

Lunch:
 ”I’m not at all hungry today” (Unloading first consignment of heavy food of the several more to come, onto the unloading deck of a plate)

Post-Lunch pre-work time on phone:
 ”You see I’ve been very busy all day long today at work. I ve a lot of work today”

Post-lunch at work:
 ”Mr.Ganwot, blah is not working yet. These outdated versions never stand up to our work load “( read the load of how much I work on it)

Tea-time:
 To colleagues: “Mr Ganwot, is never satisfied about blah though I put in a lot of effort into it. He is a cribber”

Evening:
 ”I ‘ve a blah @#$^ personal work to attend to. I am leaving a little early today (just like yesterday and the day before) Mr.Blah oops Mr.Ganwot.”

Next day on phone:
 (Lounging at the pool side)
“Mr Ganwot I’ve very severe fever (qualifier for a qualifier). I won’t be able to come today. Will let know if I am coming tomorrow.”
