Both my boss as my client (the company that pays my boss for my services ) are quite flexible.. Building opens at 6 and closes at 22, but they do appreciate it if you're atleast a couple of hours available between 10 and 15...
My boss is really cool. I've been late a few times and he is generally pretty relaxed about it. Still, because it's just the way I am, if I wake up and realize I was supposed to be at work, I FREAK out and run to the phone to call.
Where's the option where you lie about why you're late and exaggerate how close you are?
"I'm like five minutes away, but this bus just exploded in front of us, so we have to take the long way around. See you in an hour."
At which point I go to Arby's.
Having things "explode" as part of any excuse in the current climate is not a good idea. Bus/London Underground "explosions" refer to London, July 7th 2005. Similar to using an excuse of "Plane hitting skyscraper".

At my old job I ran like hell and drove super fast in my 95 buick centry the 40 minutes to work. I originally did not care but after being like 2 hours late like 23452345 times the boss gets a bit upset.
I havn't had the opportunity to come to work late at my current job
