Man can’t get his wife to the church on time
DEAR ABBY: Punctuality is important to me. My husband has many great qualities, but punctuality is not one of them.

Colleague’s abuse of sick leave has come to a head
DEAR ABBY: My co-worker takes advantage of our employer’s generous sick leave policy and calls in sick frequently. She will return the next day with no outward sign of illness and has, on several occasions, returned with a fresh haircut and manicure.
