 Posted: 10/19/04 - 14:20 Post subject: Chronic Lateness
Are you chronically late? Why?
Are you late for some things and early for others?
It would seem that I subconsciously don't want to do the activity I'm late for. This morning, I really didn't want to take the shuttle bus, and I kept "finding" things I had to do before I left the house. The same thing happened when I worked.
I'm always 15 minutes early for class. I'm at least 5 minutes early for dates with friends.
There are accidental late times. I have overslept to the point where I can't make up the time in driving and/or quicker shower. Traffic. Getting lost because you have sucky directions.

Late for work. Early for most everything else, except dinner with the in-laws.

I'm notoriously early for almost everything. I get to the stadium 2 hours before kickoff. If I have a flight, at least two hours early. Job interviews: I'm sitting outside in my car 30-45 minutes early waiting until about 15 minutes before the interview.
Work - I'm early and stay late. If I'm meeting somone for dinner or lunch usually only about 15 minutes early.
However, for my funeral I intend to be late as the devil

No, I'm usually on time. I think everyone is late every once in a while, but I try not to make it a habit.
I have a friend (and her hubby) that are ALWAYS late to everything. And it's not even 10 minutes late, it's REALLY late. We're talking a half hour to an hour late. And I think that is just really rude and it gets really annoying.

I'm also early for everything. My thought is: better safe than sorry. You never know when you may get stuck in traffic, etc, etc...
I think my earliness bugs my wife on occasion, but she'd be late a LOT if I weren't around.

I'm unpredictably early or a late. Well, I haven't analyzed it at least because if I did I'm guessing that I'd find that I was passive-aggressive with my late tendencies. I'd rather be oblivious to that for now.

guilty as charged  I'd say it was what you said, but I'm even late for good things....  I think I just get sidetracked and distracted doing something else and forget it is time to leave.

I'm early if it's important to me....otherwise, I am passive aggressively late....and that is usually something related to bureaucratic bullshilt....
