WYR

Would you rather:

Always show up 20 minutes late for everything

or

Always show up 90 minutes early for everything?

This one threw me for a loop.  I had to read it again because my first thought was that I would rather be 20 minutes EARLY than late.  But, after rerreading and realizing it didn't say that, I had to really stop and think.  I hate being late.  I always try and be at least 5-10 minutes early for any appointment I have.  To me it is extremely rude to be late for anything.  Part of that goes back to high school when I would wait and wait for someone I thought was my friend to come and pick me up for an outing only to have them "forget" me.  Back then, there were no cell phones and when that person left their house, they were basically unreachable for the rest of the evening.  It was devastating to a young girl who was on the fringe of the "in" crowd. 

I was fortunate to have parents who were supportive and used the situation to encourage me to do the right thing and never be late so someone else doesn't have to feel that same way.  It is just good manners.  But, here lies the tear, I can't afford 90 minutes of my time for each appointment.  This is a no win situation for me.

Thoughts?

Keep on go!
