Always early or always late?
Permalink  

I used to be always early- now I AM ALWAYS late. I hate it cause it stresses me out and I hate when others are late, but I just cannot seem to get my whole family to be ready on time. If it just me- I am usually right on time, but for family stuff- usually ppshing the envelope too much!

I used to be early/right on time. As I get older I find myself usually five to ten minutes behind in many things. I guess it is because I have an attitude of 'I don't care' right now. In most cases when I am doing things where it is my schedule and no one is dependent on me, so I can go at my own pace and it doesn't matter if I am behind.

I am usually early, I hate being late for anything. If I say I'm going to be there at a certain time I will be. Last year I added up just the time I came in early and I gave the company 67 hours free.

To work: almost always late, but usually less than 5 minutes. But I almost always stay 5 minutes after too. To an event, by myself, almost always early. To something with my hubby, almost always late. He thinks he can get ready in 5 minutes. What he doesn't include is the time it takes him to pet the cats, smoke a cigarette, find his wallet, talk to the neighbor...

I'm with Fuzzy.  I don't care so I'm ALWAYS late.  Hate it but I don't care much.  Plus I forget stuff a lot so I'm the bad friend that says, "I'll call you back" & never does.

Left to my own devices, I'm generally fashionably late.  My hubby is a "gotta be early" person.  As you can imagine, it has been a stressful life for him.

I usually take it right down to the wire. It kills my husband because he can get ready in 20 min (if he leaves the tv off) For work I leave the house late but usually make it to there on time. For my family gatherings-always late! They drive me crazy!

Ok, now I know it must be an evil female plan to drive your husband nuts. My wife does the same thing, unless it is something she has planned.

My wife is the same way Sparky. If its "her" thing, we can manage to get there on time but if its "my" thing, being late is no big deal.

If I'm going alone, I'm usually early.

Just reason number 502 why women live, on average, 7 years longer than men.

I was always late, so I changed my start time. Now I am always 15 minutes early. I am finding it harder and harder to change me, changing time was the easier solution!

Too funny!  I am actually a reformed perpetually punctual person. Every job I ever had was clock driven until I started working here in network.  We are officially never closed for business.  I've carried a pager for about 8 years now, and in my job most of the really interesting stuff happens in the middle of the night (a.k.a maintenance window).  I had to lose the clockwatcher mentality, so that has just carried over into every aspect of my life.  I can be on time when I want to, I just rarely see the point.

MM, I think you hit the nail on the head...I am on time when I need to be...but my time is valuable and I prioritize a little more discriminantly.
