Ever get caught in a lie at work?

[Maybe even kiss you]

I said in a Teams meeting today that King Crimson is my favourite band, even though I only know two of their albums. I just said it in passing to be affable towards a couple of music guys in the meeting. Later on, I made a refence to Close to the Edge (Yes album) as a King Crimson album, and even though they didn't say anything, I know they realized I had lied. They're probably shit talking me at this very moment.

Everyone thinks I'm 10 years younger than I am. I don't correct anyone because it makes me feel like I can act dumber and get away with stuff I dunno.

This is an easy fix.
Tell them that you said Close to the Edge because you were thinking about how the Bill Bruford era of King Crimson (Larks' Tongue in Aspic, Starless and Bible Black, and Red) is the band's definitive era - largely due to Bruford's contributions - and you often wonder;

"Had Bruford not left Yes after Close to the Edge, would those Crimson records be still be held in such high regard?"

“No, I was definitely not smoking weed on my lunch break. I’m not high, you are!”

I was very nearly busted for taking drugs in the bathroom. By an incredible bit of good fortune, I had some Calm brand magnesium in my desk drawer that was also a white powder that you mix with water. So, I said that was what the cleaning lady must have noticed and that I was taking it because I've been having trouble sleeping. Yes, I have been quite tired at work lately! But, I think it's been getting better.

That's what I was thinking.

But tell stories of when you got caught.
