I have a problem with "late". This is the speech I give new employees when I hire them. "I don't care if it's work, school, church, a date, Dr. appt.,or dinner at Mom's. Late is a sign of disrespect, and it's inconsiderate."
I totally agree. some of us must have a built in clock!!!!?? I could never stand to be late, even when unavoidable!! I show up if still breathing, even in the worst snowstorms, floods, whatever, and on time, even if I have to leaver 1 hour early for that 45 min drive. ( glad i'm bout sorta retired) I just can't help it. my 2 daughters are the same way. genetic!?? don't know!
I try not to let others adversely affect my " happy state of mind!"
