We all are taught, or at least I hope everyone was, to tell the truth. It's a great time saver. As someone who is very busy I don't have time or tolerance for bullshit. So I tell the truth, and I appreciate it when people do the same to me, in fact I appreciate it so much that I tend to cut liars out of my life completely and they end of standing around wondering what the hell happened..."where did Janice go" Ha!
