Why is it that I find it so difficult to be on time for things. I have spent my whole life chasing buses and walking in JUST in time or a minute or two or more late for things, including work. Seems that no matter how hard I try I just can't seem to make it on time. I try tricking myself and saying I need to be at an appointment earlier than I really need to and that doesn't work. I try changing the clocks back and that doesn't work. I try getting things ready the night before and that doesn't work because I then think that I have all this extra time to do stuff and really I don't.

Mark hates this because he hates being late and prefers being five minutes EARLY for things. I tried his way yesterday morning as I had an appointment - well...we arrived early (a miracle) and then.........had to wait 10 MINUTES past the appointment time. Well I was really, really, really, really, really annoyed and angry and I stomped up to the door that I was supposed to be going in - and there were the damn people drinking coffee and joking around! Well - the look on my face was apparently enough and they apolgized over and over again and took me in. I hate WAITING for things...waiting for work to start, waiting for buses to come, waiting for appointments to start, etc., and THAT is why I am never on time for things.

The conclusion: I prefer to rush around frantically and arrive just in time or even a few minutes late for any appointments and/or commitments that I may have. To me - it is better than waiting. Terrible habit that I cannot seem to break - any suggestions ????????????
