The Calendar Option

A technique of temporarily “saving face” with colleagues, bosses, customers, and auditors by changing every calendar and clock in a particular workplace in an effort to cover up a missed deadline. “The Calendar Option” is the “Nuclear Option” of work place fault misdirection. “The Calendar Option” should only be used when the monumental task of changing dozens of calendars, clocks, and watches pales in comparison to actually completing ones assigned task on time. Hacking of local computer and cellular networks is usually preferred, as these sources represent the primary ways of determining dates and times. “The Calendar Option” will buy you enough time to prepare a resume, write a cover page, and apply for other jobs in the timespan prior to your superiors realizing you’ve elegantly gamed them to death. Worried about future employment? Don’t! One who can successfully employ “The Calendar Option” is often far under-employed anyway. This fact is clearly demonstrated as the time, energy, intelligence and sheer skill required to pull off the maneuver could be accomplished by no less than an American, tier 1, Special Forces operator who is also a Ninja.

Are you late? Can’t blame a colleague? Can’t blame your computer? Can’t blame the weather? Don’t even bother! Just employ “The Calendar Option” and you won’t need to blame a thing because the calendar and clocks say “you’re not late!”

Could be an option..

A turn of phrase best used when a random or casual acquaintance invites you to do something you have no intention of actually doing..

A noncommittal and inoffensive way to say no to something you don’t want to do..

Random: Hey bro you should all come over to my house for drinks..

Me: Yeah thanks dude, could be an option..

Annoying colleague: Hey we should definitely go and catch a movie some time..

Me: Yeah that sounds great, could be an option..

taking the option

When you have an obligation to be somewhere, but decide you would rather not and go do something else instead, like go hang out with friends or go home and sleep. This alternate action is almost certainly frowned upon by the coach/authority figure and by those who are truly committed to the activity.

"Going to football today?"
"No man. I'm taking the option and going to dairy Queen instead. Wanna come?"

"No one is here today? What the hell?"
"Everyone took the option instead."
"Well that's lame."
