Here goes-

I am ALWAYS super early. My friends tease me so much about my "time obcession." I'm not organized in most other areas, but I am on time, actually I'm usually really early. I hate when others don't value my time. If I am late, I call and let the other people know, even if it's going to be a matter of minutes.

My husband pretty much times things to where we show up "exactly" on time. It drives me crazy. I feel like I'm late if I'm not 15 minutes early. Just my little hangup I guess.

OK your turn!

I'm always early.
I'm a project manager by trade and time management is an essential part of my life. So if you say 10...count on me being there at 9:45.

See...I'm even the first to reply.

May parents were always late wherever they went and I hated it! So I am always early by 15 mins or so or dead on time (by sitting in the car and waiting til the hands tick over lol) .

I don't have many appointments these days but, when I did I was either on time or early.

I see a trend developing here!

I'm ALWAYS early.

What do you suppose is the connection between scrapping and promptness?

That doesn't mean I'm ahead of schedule on my various projects and general housekeeping duties......

MAJOR procrastinator in that department!

i'm always early --

I can't stand it when someone says they will be there, and then aren't there at the time they said --

when someone tells me a time, i BELIEVE THEM -- and if they don't show, it's wasting my time --

and i feel like they didn't appreciate me to let me know i could do something else w/my time --

i mean, can't people at LEAST call -- doesn't 99% of the world own a cell phone or at least have access to one? I get worried too, and wonder what might have happened.

ok whine over --

at least until someone is late --

This is so interesting!

My dad always taught me to be early...not just on time. That way if something does go wrong, you aren't going to be late. By showing up early you are showing respect for that person. Showing them you care enough about them to value their time and not be late.

My dh is ALWAYS late...drives me nuts. So, when I have control over it I always tell him we need to leave 15 minutes before we actually need to (to be early)...we always leave about 15 minutes late...which still puts us there early! Aren't I sneaky!

It drives me nuts too when other people are late! And I hate it when they're already really late and they call and say...okay, I'll be there in a minute. Why didn't they call BEFORE they were supposed to be here...they knew they were going to be then! ARghhh...

Anyway....being late is one of my biggest pet peeves!
