    How important is it in life?

    do some get too hung up on it?

    Run by their diaries and organised by their PA’s?

    Is the ‘I’ll turn up whenever’ approach the best path to a relaxed and enriching life?

    Can’t stand being late or people who are late. Usually there is no need for it to happen other than the person being lazy.
    The people who I know are late on a regular basis I tell them the net time is half an hour before I want it to be

    When I worked in an office, I thought it was bonkers that they were so demanding that everyone turn up 5 minutes before your shift starts. You are working in a place that has so little work output (aka the standard office) and everyone has to be there early, pretending they have work to do.

    With one of my first jobs at Telewest we had to get in before start time as they expected us logged on to the computer stystems and ready to take first call at the start of our shift.
    I made up for it by having several toilet breaks in my shift

    I'm a very rules and routines person, schedules are always good, it's just the way my brain works, pure logic.

    All you seem to have to do is show up on time to be an amazing person so maybe he can manage it against all odds

    this is the point. Late people are either thick as mince or.. old and senile and then we need to give them leeway…
