Showing up on time

I abuse people if they make me wait.

I am never late myself.

Doesn't seem too difficult. Practice makes perfect, I guess?

Also depends on distance.
Work is a 4 minute drive away, so I can get away with cutting it very fine. I seem pretty good at arriving at a consistent 7:57, allowing me time to grab a coffee without anyone tutting at me.

Aiming to be early seems best - if it looks like you'll be too early, just slow down! Much easier than trying to speed up.


What irks me is friends who are also about a 4 minute drive away saying "I'll pick you up at 4:30!" and finally turning up at 5:15. I could have been doing something for those 45 minutes, but had to avoid getting into anything because I could be picked up at some point.

For middle school through high school I didn't care, so I got there when I felt like it. They gave me Saturday detentions for tardiness and I never showed. Some girl came up to me like, "Where were you in detention?" Apparently she didn't get the memo that I don't give a smurf. I only got reprimanded by the Vice Principal one time for not showing up to a detention, and I persisted to not go. Guess he didn't the memo either.

I was also this way in school, though they never gave us Saturday detentions, just lunch detentions.

I never went to those, either.

I don't think detentions were even allowed where I went to school.

Oh, it's easy. I simply don't bring Danielle along with me.
