Confession

I told my coworkers I was at a conference

Conference EscapeeAnonymous

I told my office I was attending a professional development conference in Miami for a week. I was on Carnival Celebration sailing to the Bahamas. I even created a fake conference schedule in case anyone asked for details. On day three, my manager texted asking how the 'keynote on innovation' went. I was lying on a pool deck with a frozen drink composing a detailed fictional review of a keynote that never happened. I texted back three paragraphs about disruptive synergies and paradigm shifts. He said it sounded inspiring. I was watching a man in a Hawaiian shirt attempt to limbo. That was my inspiration. I have since used all my actual vacation days and will not need to do this again. Probably. The Bahamas were outstanding.
