Shalampax Speaks

Emptybucket asked me to pass along the following apology on his behalf. He deeply regrets that, due to unexpected circumstances beyond his control, he was unable to present last night’s scheduled lecture on Orienteering and Map Reading.

Unfortunately, Emptybucket was unable to find the lecture hall where the talk was to be held. After searching randomly for the room for approximately two hours, he inadvertently stumbled on the pub. Never one to pass up such a serendipitous opportunity, he stopped at the pub for a beer to quench the thirst that he had worked up due to his lengthy trek.

It was well past the lecture’s scheduled end-time when Emptybucket finished his beer, so he decided that there was no point in continuing his search.

This morning, I found Emptybucket sitting on the floor in front of the pub. He had spent the night there because he had no idea how to go about locating his apartment.

After helping him to find his way home, I came back to the office to pen this apology on his behalf: Sorry.

On a personal note, I would like to send my own apology to Stickinthemud. I assigned him to cover Emptybucket’s lecture for Shalampax Speaks and, knowing Stickinthemud, he’s probably still sitting there waiting for the lecture to start. If you happen to pass by the room where the lecture was supposed to be held, please let Stickinthemud know he can leave now.
