Early "on time", On time "late", ... "late".... well... no excuse!

Ever heard the saying if you're early you're on time. If you're on time, you'e late. You can imagine, that if you're late... well no excuse.

Well, this seems so straight forward to me, but somewhere, somehow, to others it is totally unheard of. Perhaps Fiji (spelling?) time is what the norm is. What I mean is, well I know I'm supposed to be there at 9, but you know I'm coming so I'll arrive when I arrive and when I do, be happy to see me. What?! Are you serious? Seems that Fijii (perhaps this is correct spelling) time is a generational thing. Not my generation mind you. Am I getting older? I'd like to think I'm getting wiser. I just wish that folks would follow these great words of wisdom passed on to me from my mother... "If you're early, you're on time".... "If you're on time, you're late"...... and "If you're late, well no excuse"....

My hope is that these words of wisdom somehow penetrate the generation that seems to think right on time is on time, and a little late is okay........ Oh...... this is a two hands to forhead type of thing for me...... ("K" I think you may remember what I mean..... 2 hands to the forhead and you throw yourself back in your chair and just say "no, no, no......."). Okay, enough about my peeves and time, or lack of respect for time and others. Signing off for now.
