I'm afraid this contest closed on June 15, 2010 - so ironically, you ARE late for the Tardy Contest. ;) But fear not - there will be more contests in the future. Hi Annie, thanks for stopping by!

I haven't really been late for anything, though two times I showed up at 8am at my school for Badminton, when it was cancelled! And I was the only one who showed up! Also, no one's really given me a silly excuse for being late, but hey- at least I'm not late for this Tardy Contest! Closes June 15! Hi!

I had decided to sleep in late and then got stuck in traffic. My friends and family were not happy. I am also 12 days late on this tardy contest. p.s. I loved A Spy in the House amd can't wait to read A Body at the Tower. I was once three hours late to my own birthday party. I had decided to sleep in late and then got stuck in traffic.

I hate it when I miss the ferry to Victoria, BC too! I go there about 4 times a year to visit the in-laws *shudder*, but once you miss the ferry it takes away like half the day! Oh!

Hopefully I can still be entered, but if not oh well. I was late for a job interview once and it had been raining so I showed up looking like a drowned rat..needless to say I did not get that job. I'm loving the Agency - Spy In The House by the way..just about half way through and I can't wait to finish the rest! I’m usually a prompt person, but I’m a late for this contest!

I swear that I don't *try* to drive into the worst traffic... it just happens! But on to one of my less proud moments... I used to run cross-country races in high school. Since we had boys and girls teams with both varsity and JV races, we would arrive at the meets early and stay there for hours while everyone ran their races. So, one day, I decided to run to the bathroom before my race. I had about 20 minutes to spare so I thought I would skip the lines at the Porto-Potties and head straight for the school's building across the road and the extremely large parking lot. I tried the first set of doors, but they were locked. I found another set and let myself in. Of course, the women's restroom was being cleaned, so I went around the corner to find another one, getting a little turned around. When I went to leave, I was a little lost and left out the wrong doors. By the time I had run around the building and the parking lot, I could see the other racers lined up across the road. I hurried, but I still missed the starting gun. I just kept running and barreled across the start line way behind the other girls. If this were a book or movie, I would talk about how I ran my heart out and still won the race. However, I didn't, and my coach never let me live it down.

I was awakened at 6:30 by my boss asking where I was - oops, set the alarm for PM instead of AM. Luckily, after talking to the help desk, it was decided I could do the process after they completed work at 12:30, so I didn't have to rush to work. I sure felt terrible when I first woke up, thinking about how 25 people were sitting around waiting for me. It would be fantastic to win an ARC of The Body at the Tower.
