Timeliness

Is being on time a virtue? I'd like to think so, but I'm the only one I know who's always on time. I'm well-brought-up, and have always thought that it's somewhat disrespectful to be late. I plan ahead. I don't keep other people waiting. And I spend a lot of time waiting for other people to get wherever it is they have said they'll be at an appointed hour.

What makes everyone think it's alright to be 10 or 15 or 20 minutes late, everywhere they go?

It is a virtue and one that I share with you. Hang on to this one. I think it is important and lets people know that if I have a meeting or a lunch with them, I think it is important enough to be there on time - even if they don't!

Sometimes they just made a wrong turn off the ramp.
