Employee: "I woke up to my wife throwing up. I put her back to bed, took the baby out of bed, gave her breakfast, made my lunch, got the baby ready, checked on my wife, and made sure she was gonna be okay. I get the baby to daycare and hit the highway. There was an accident on Caldwell, Cicero, and Elston. Everyone had to freaking look around and make sure they didn't know who drove the car. I finally pass the junction and I fly down the highway. From Old Orchard to the junction took my 45 minutes and from the Junction to here took me about 15. It was just a hellacious morning."

Boss: "You still shouldn't have been late. You need to plan for these sorts of events."

Buddy: "And I bet you half of the people there couldn't even tell you that much. Cleveland sucks."
