Reply to a Notice to Explain:
Was trapped in the bathroom

It’s almost 9 a.m. and I was really worried about Carlo, one of our writers. You see, we have a client deadline of at least two news articles daily to be submitted on or before 11 a.m. of the same day. There are only two writers in my department, and the other one was on leave, so that leaves Carlo… who’s time in is supposed to be 8:30 a.m.
Just before the clock hit 9 o’clock, Carlo came rushing in our office all flustered. He immediately went to his workstation and started typing away for the client. During lunch, I found out that he literally got stuck in their bathroom because of the faulty door knob. Apparently, they were using an ancient rusty door knob in the bathroom that was due for replacement for a long time now. It took them a long time to get him out of their bathroom and even went to the extent of seeking the help of a carpenter. After office hours, since it’s pay day as well, Carlo decided to buy one of those plastic knobs in the hardware store to replace their now knob-less bathroom door.
Carlo, by the way, was able to meet the 11 a.m. deadline for the articles. Normally, this would have been an all’s well that ends well story. But then I remembered that because of his late today, he’s now on the tardy employee list! I can’t wait to read his “Notice to Explain” for his late today. I won’t be surprised if the HR thought Carlo was just pulling their leg. Ahahaha!
