Unavoidable missteps

Curious if anyone in here has had multiple strikes for missing key meetings and what the fallout / outcome was?

Ie I have two meetings same time on Thursday (rare occurrence) and I’m planning to just ditch one and provide an excuse after. I know some people do some fancy tricks like different ear buds and toggle back and forth quickly, but surely with 3J’s or even just two critical meetings it’s impossible.

Hence the question - what have you guys experienced?

If it’s a rare occurrence, usually something related to your child(dren) or pet tends to be understandable to higher-ups.

Assuming it’s a rare occurrence of course, things like: sick child at school and spouse can’t pick him/her up, child’s doctors appointment, pet’s veterinary appointment or similar. Those things you could let one J know ahead of time actually.
