Excuses

I work in an office with about 100 people in my department. I just find it so interesting; the excuses people use to scoot out of work early.  Let's just say, those that have kids, use that card 100% of the time.  I just heard one today; kids school called, ya da, ya da, yada; or the kids are sick so I have to stay home. But yet, if they are home, they don't have any time to work remotely?  Hmmmm.
