Sometimes, I did late for my work. I have to clock - in at 6:30 A.M. everyday morning, but I always 1 - 4 minutes late. I tried to discipline myself lately so I won't late again. Fortunately, my supervisor is okay with 1 - 4 minutes. But late is late, I have to do better. Don't you late for work sometimes too? Did you boss scold you if you late?

I absolutely refuse to be late for work - I don't like to be late for anything. Its one of my little quirks. I always get there early. I'm a supervisor at a water park during the summer and we dont really have scheduled times. If we are morning we have to be there by 9 and cant leave until the other supervisor arrives. We are supposed to arrive by 2:30 but I'm usually at work about 8:45 in the morning and get there about 1...I'm a workaholic. lol. If they come at 2:30 I usually don't leave until around 4. Its extra hours and I hate being home...Its so boring. I would rather be working, whether its a fun day or not. I can't wait until we open for a new season.

I am late for everything. Work, dinner, friends, gym, everything that requires me to be on time, I am late for.
I have tried setting my alarm to get up earlier but to no avail, I either snooze the thing or sleep through it. I am guilty of procrastination too.
Yet, I the most impatient person ever when it comes to other people being late for me. Go figure?

It depends upon the traffic situation. I go to office commuting and there are days that traffic is really at its worse that is usually the reason I am late because my office is near my home and the thing that could make me late is the traffic most of the time.

I am not only on time for work I always am early. I don't like to be late for work or an appointment. I have a book with me at all times so when I get to work early I first go and see what is going on that I need to know about. Than after that I will go to the breakroom and sit and read until it is time for me to punch in. I have always had this habit.

I too have been late for work- we have to clock in 15 minutes before the start of our shift (I work at a hospital), I'm not always late- its the occassional- "Oh, crap I overslept" and no my boss doesn't scold me- maybe because I'm a manager too- but like I said I try hard to be on time- it shows responsibility and that is something all managers like to see. Good Luck and happy mylotting!

I'm always about five to ten minutes late for work. It really annoys me, even though I'm not sure it bothers anyone else. I constantly stay late, though, by an hour or more, so I try to tell myself that no one notices the couple minutes at the beginning of the day. Ideally, I would like to get in early or right on time AND stay late, but I guess I'm just going to have to work harder at it!
