I learned a lot of things during my tenure at the greatest school in the world. A lot of those were life lessons; one I cherish a bit more than all of the others. And that my friend is the art of the “skit.”
The art of the skit is basically bs’ing 101. Meaning using your quick thinking and poker face to get yourself out of a lot of potentially asinine situations. I like to think of myself as having a Doctorate, a black belt, a certification, and a hood pass all in the art of the skit. Believe me it’s taken me a long way in life.
Whether it’s telling a job you’re traveling abroad the summer after you graduate and can’t start until September so you can have your summer off. Or talking your way down to the front of the Rick Ross concert so close you can see the sweat dripping down his beard (eww). Even getting to the airport 30 minutes before your flight leaves and somehow still making it through security and on the plane in time.
The art of the skit has to be taught by example that’s the way the best learn. But be careful you don’t want to become the boy who cried wolf. That one person who constantly gets the side eye from the people you attempt to skit because you’ve used an excuse one too many times. There’s only so many times your Mom can be having surgery and needs someone to drive her from the doctor so you have to leave work 4 hours early. As Jay said “we don’t believe you…you need more people.”
With that being said I’ll continue to use my 12 vacation days to equal out to 14 actual vacations. Happy skitting my friends. J
