YES.Cos am rend room right on back my building office. Before am rend my room am sleep in office that more practice no need pay room at all, but that make me wake up until early morning to finis my work really not healthy.so am decide to rend room, am have problem to wake up at the morning (am not type person easy wake up in morning)so i must rend room really near the office at less even am woke up late i still have time to take a shower, breakfast and arrive at office in the right time. Before am decide to stay in office, i always left home at 5:30 early morning to go to bus station. is really hard for me to going to office and back again to home every day, i always come late every day that why am decide to stay at office.And than now am rend room.

If I need to be at work by 8 am, I leave at 7:30 for the 15 minute journey and I always get there at least 15 minutes ahead of time, and then because of that I get to leave 15 minutes earlier, which is a plus for me. There's never really traffic or delays, for me getting to work earlier it is more convenient so I can get out of there sooner and have more daylight for myself- I don't think I would be allowed to come much earlier since I work on a time clock (walmart). I have never ever in my life been late to work and I just hope it never happens to me! Though lateness is considered over 15 minutes past your scheduled time, so if I came in at 8:15, I would have to leave at 9:15 to get my complete scheduled pay.

Most of the time is I will be earlier to reach office. Late to work is kind of shame and make me feel guilty as everyone will stare at you will walking pass through them. =(

I have a pretty good alarm that usualy wakes me up pretty well. I value my perfect attendence record that i've held since grade school. I was one of 3 in my class to never miss a day of school and other than vacation time I have yet to miss a day of work. Sometimes making sure my kids are ready and running them to school I cut it close but I always try to leave enough time for that. I even set my watches 5 minutes fast so I am awlways a bit early.

Hi Vimalmeh, I am very seldom late at work. You see, I've got to get out from the house before 7.15 am so that I won't get caught in the traffic jam at the toll gates I've got to pass through. And at that hour, the journey takes only 15 mins. So I would reach office by 7.30am....and office starts at 9 am!

Punctuality is very important to me. I loathe being late and can't recall ever being late.

hi.. i am always expect punctuality from every1. so even i try 2 be perfect in every ways. but one thing taht always doesnt suit me is office time. actually i am incharge of an internet cafe and billiards parlour which are in a same big halls. if i open the office 1 hour late, nearly 200 will be loss for the company. due to traffic and my late sleep, many times i had opend 30 mins to 1 hour late. but my boss never questioned me even a day.but he knows that many days i am opening late. on that way, i'm lucky.
