Ditto. I have been late for work more times than I can remember. =/ But I have corrected that already and nowadays, I am rarely late. I usually arrive at the office half an hour before time. =) That way, I could still relax a bit before tackling the day's workload. =)

Well, I got fired for being late / missing too many days. On my behalf, I missed days because my son was sick, but it was my fault for being late. I'd love to get everywhere early, but I have so much going on that I can't spare the time to leave early, so I end up being late. I'm trying to work on that though.

I try not to be late, but sometimes life gets in the way. Every now and then a bus will run late, and I've gone in late now and then because I've woken up to sick pet and didn't want to leave them. I'm lucky in that I have a job where as long as I'm not supposed to be in a meeting or on-call, I have some flexibility in terms of when I arrive at work. I can stay late to make up the time difference.

All of us tried to be late, agree? But after our first late, we have to get up over it 'coz we might get fired if we will still be doing the same thing.

I haven't ever been late too. I don't wanna be embarrased for showing up late. Just like in school. And i see to it I arrive not less than 30 minutes before any appointment start.
