Time Keeping.

Are you good at it?

All sorts of time keeping?

Appointments I’m spot on?

How about you?

Re: Time Keeping.

I remember one morning I was fifteen minutes late getting to a customer...... they though something had happened to me.

Probably champing at the bit for you to open up the shop so they could buy their beer! Tardy lad!

I am generally early or on time. Unless it is circumstances beyond my control.

Re: Time Keeping.

I'm like Pixie, usually early or on time. Mr B, however, thinks it's OK to leave the house 5 minutes before he is meant to be somewhere, whether it's 2 miles or 10 miles away. Consequently I always have to give him a nudge, chivvy him along, and then of course get moaned at for nagging

I hate being late - it's rude really, like saying other people's time is less valuable than your own. Unavoidable sometimes, of course, traffic and so on....

Re: Time Keeping.

I absolutely detest tardiness. We always make sure we’re on time even if it means sitting in the car for ten minutes.

My eldest daughter on the other hand……. We usually get a message saying ”We’re leaving now” when thay should be here. It’s 45 minutes by car. Her excuse usually is that they have the boys that make them late. I often say she’ll be late for her own funareal.

I was a disabled,single mum with three kids and always managed to be on time.

Ditto

If an appointment has to be cancelled always ring in plenty of time for someone else to take it.

Re: Time Keeping.

I'm usually a bit early for appointments.

If I get in a traffic jam or some kind of hold up on the way there, I get myself in a right tiz.

Re: Time Keeping.

For hospital appointment absolutely necessary to leave an hour before or more, we check the local travel news for delays, then you can sometimes have a wait parking and getting a ticket. If we are early just got to cafe. Don't rush anything now.
