Forget Abby. Tell Aunty Nathan your problems. His advice is top!

“Dear Aunty Nathan,

I have a problem for your problem page. I have an important deadline to meet at work on Wednesday. I have completely lost the file containing the work I have done and the work I need to finish before Wed.

How do you suggest I blag my way out of this one?

Quiddity”

Well, Q-diddy, I see your dilemma. I thought about this long and hard trying to determine what the bet possible solution would be for you. And then suddenly it was Wednesday and whatever answer I give you is too late anyway. So I guess the moral to this story is “If something seems really hard, just keeping putting it off, and then it will be over in one way or another.

Better yet, you could hire a time travelling detective robot to go back in time to before you’d lost your work, and then travel forward in time, arriving at your workplace just as you were about to tell your boss you didn’t meet the deadline.

Problem solved.
