Creative excuses

So I didn't get much work done yesterday because a helicopter spent about an hour circling my house. I finally got annoyed and took the binoculars to check him out - like to see who I'm shooting before letting loose. All I could see was some bozo leaning out the cockpit with a camera in his face. Chopper buzzed out soon after.

Talked to one of my editors and he wasn't impressed:

"This isn't going to end up being an excuse for missing a deadline, is it?"
