Agree...to a point.

I know - I always thought, "Never be late and weather doesn't matter," is spoken like a Californian who doesn't have sudden snowfall with trucks out, but no lowering their shovels (what is up with that!).  My co-worker left work early on Tuesday and it still took her nearly 5 hours to make her normally 1 hour drive home. 

I don't think he's speaking to people like yourself who always make a considered effort to be on time. 

I think he's speaking to people like my friend Sammy - for whom 30 minutes late is really early.  Sammy once told our babysitter she would be there to relieve the sitter at 1...she showed up at 530.  Then got kind of testy when asked for an explanation...

People for whom any excuse would do...there was a strong wind, sun was in my eyes, forgot to water the plant and had to go back home...

It is so amazing how many people don't care

I have some friends who just don't care about being late.  They will spend an extra hour in front of the mirror or tidying their house rather than spending it with friends that they organised to have dinner with.

So who is inportant in their world, well it ain;t me or their other friends.

Here's to enjoying the company of others when we arrange to get together! Have a great day! Angie
