Woman's Unusual Work Excuse Leaves Bosses In Stitches

Have you ever thought about a good reason to skip work? Well, Amber Harris from Tasmania might just have the best excuse yet. In an amusing incident that left her bosses chuckling, Harris found herself unable to go to work due to an unusual roadblock: a 600kg southern elephant seal named Neil.

The story unfolds with Harris discovering Neil the Seal comfortably settled in her driveway. The seal, known to locals, seemed quite content disrupting Harris’s morning routine. Neil’s nap spot choice turned Harris’s driveway into an impromptu seal sanctuary, leaving her car trapped.

Harris shared this unique predicament with her office. The reaction? Utter amusement and laughter. “I think it’s going to go down as the best excuse in history of not to go to work,” said Harris, her words filled with laughter.

Verse of the Day

“And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.”
