i know that preferring is not actually the same as the one really actually happening. tell me about your preference and the usual thing that happens.
are you the type who prefers arriving early but still show up late? or are you the type who prefer a later time to come and is quite successful with it? or is it the other way around?

I really like to arrive early most of the time and that's because I really don't like to make others wait. Oddly though, its okay for me to wait for long hours and I have done that before when I was waiting for some people after school. I just roamed around just to spend time.
I am really good at arriving early if I really wanted to. (^_^")

I hate being late and I hate it when people are late.
i think in the 2o years that I've been working I been late maybe 10 times and that's because the bus was late.
It just messes up my whole day when I'm late.

hey, we're the same. it infuriates me when others tolerate this although at our house i've learned to live with it. my husband is one of those late comers. he's like if he says we're leaving at 2 that means he'd shower to prepare to leave at 2. although in many instances he'd learned to adjust and be on time 'coz he knows i'd be frowning the remaining of the day.

to come early in meeting with friends or business associates is showing a great sense of respect. before i always make them wait for me, as if i am a VIP, then i realize and after reading a book from Dale Carnegie, i realize that it is not a good habit or conduct being late in meetings and compromises, even in submitting school projects haha

i guess i would prefer to be late also if it is a meeting of friends and they're always late. probably about 20 minutes late? what do you think? is that still early?

this post of yours made me remember what i used to impose on myself in every new job i used to have. if it is always possible i stay an hour later than the usual going home time to get my very own feel in the way things are done in my new workplace.

I usually show up early for any events, unless something happen and delay my arrival. I hate making people wait for me and I don't easily forgive someone who arrived too late that appointed time. I think we should hold by our promise and honor it. That's why it's important to arrive before or on time. It will give others the first general impression about us too.

i would prefer to show up early except if some things might come my way and i end up being late and i just text my friend that i would be late. as not to let them think that im doing it in purpose. i dont really want to be late on anything or any event i rather be ahead of time rather than to be late.
