There's a person at my company who loves to schedule meetings on Friday afternoons until 5:00. She says that it's the only time everyone's calendars show available time.

I've taken to scheduling fake meetings on Friday afternoons with accomplices so none of us have any free time showing on our calendars.

I hereby offer my services in the area of chicanery to help you get out of the tedium that lies ahead. Keep in mind, though, that my services offer no guarantees, and they may not be advisable to those with, oh, what do you call it... ethics.

My score would probably be a 10. There's no middle ground between 10 and 15, though, so I'm going to hedge my bets and say you scored 12.5....

GDad, that's brilliant! Use the system for your own purposes. I'm inspired.

I got a 7 on the quiz.

If I were A. Student, I'd say my 15 on your quiz should be worth that one more social science credit I need to graduate. Let me know what you think.

It sounds like you are avoiding getting ready for congressional testimony.

D.C. in August is a bitch. 97 degrees today. Do what you have to get out of it.

Good luck!

Recent news has changed my score. One of my colleagues also agreed to do this thing, which means if I bow out I look like a schmuck. Original score: 15. New score: 12.

I was close!

I gave you 11. Knowing a situation like your colleague's cooperation would sway you. Close! :-)
