A team member
delayed a group project yesterday
because she was ‘busy.’
Of all of the excuses to use,
this is one of the worst.
Saying
she couldn’t complete the task
because she was ‘busy’
implies that the other team members,
the people who did
what they promised to do,
weren’t busy.
They had nothing else to do.
We’re all f*ckin’ busy.
Tell us a reason
why
you’re especially busy.
Your grandma died.
Your babysitter quit.
We’re being invaded by aliens
and you’re the only person
who can stop them.
Don’t flip off your responsibilities,
responsibilities you took on
and should have planned for,
with an airy fairy ‘I was busy.’
Think before you use
the ‘I’m busy’ excuse.
