In response to "i think 'unforeseen' may become my word of the month. it's speaking to me right now. -- nm" by El Fandie

Well, then you should also start using the phrase "overcome by events."


It's a very handy phrase applicable for many different situations ...

"Sorry I missed the meeting -- I was overcome by events."

"Don't blame me -- I was overcome by events."

"We'll have to reschedule our project delivery date. We're overcome by events."
