MeanLaureen's Useless Poll of the Day - Thursday

[MeanLaureen]

Happy Thursday everyone!

Well the week is half over, thank goodness. Although I guess I can't complain, it seems like the year has been flying by. Wasn't it just January a day ago?

I am SO bad this morning. I overslept. Matt came in and woke me up at 7:15 as usual. Brought me a cup of tea to take my first round of pills with. Usually I sit in bed for about 10 minutes and watch "Fairly Oddparents" on Nick while my tea cools down then I get ready for work.

Umm.. well. I don't remember much of him waking me up - just fast forward to him coming in the room at 8:03 with me sound asleep!

Which leads me to today's question. "Are you normally on time, early or late?"

I was the first to post this morning!! I think its safe to say I am an early person. My DF always said if you weren't 10mins early, you were late!!! My DM on the other hand I don't think has been early in her life. We won't even talk about my DH, I guess late people find early people to married so it will all even out!!

I'm the second to post!!!
I am usually early for everything. Just my way!

 

[rasnlms]

I don't know if I would call myself anal - but I am known for being punctual.

 

[shep]

try to be early...

 

[WDWLVR]

I hate being late so I always allow myself plenty of travel time. That usually makes me early for everything.

 

[chell]

I always try my best to be early.

 

[piglet too]

I try my best to be there early, if not right on tiem. But when I have to get the kids to cooperate with me......

 

[Rajah]

I try to be on time to everything, but I also try not to worry about it. If I'm late, I'm late.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Both my husband and I like to be a little early, sometimes we get there right at the appointed time, but we are never late.

 

[browneyes]

If I need to be somewhere at 7:30, I get there at 7:30 or 7:32. Unless I have an errand or something before then, then I'm there at 7:20-7:25. I'm not always predictable.

I try to be early for everything. I don't like it when I have to wait for people, so why should I make them wait for me.

 

[ShuisFan584]

I try to be early for everything. It takes me about 25 minutes to get to school, but I leave an hour ahead of time. That gives me enough time to find parking, and get to class 15-20 minutes ahead of time.

For the most part I'm on time. But I'm not the anal one about it...my bosses were! I used to be early on my own for years. HOWEVER, become a single parent changed all that! Things don't always go smoothly. If I'm late, I don't mind staying late to make up the time. But the bosses I've had don't want to work with that. The last year I spent at my job I went nuts to be on time no matter what. Didn't even pay off. I could be running down the hallway to get to that darned time clock. I think there was one day I was late all year. Then when it came to my review, the witch said I had an attendance problem. She said that because there was an annual meeting I should have been there for to "smile" at the money makers for the hospital, but I got stuck without a babysitter and didn't make it. That was her reasoning. I have to say that was a MAJOR contribution to my quitting that job!

I'm jealous, Lauri! I want a job where I can get up at 7 a.m.! LOL! I haven't gotten up at 7 since I was in grade school. I've been getting up at 5 for eons.

I am so anal when it comes to being on time. I have to be on time, and to be on time that means I am there about 10 minutes early. My DBF is always late and it drives me crazy. It has led to many arguments.

I don't even need to try -- it's just a part of me. I am ALWAYS early for everything. I panic if I think I'm going to be late -- although it happens only once every 10 years or so.

The flip side of that is my one biggest pet peaves is when I need to attend a meeting and it is to start at, say, 7:30 sharp and doesn't get the ball rolling until much later. And, I love it when one of my daycare parents tell me they are late because they couldn't get out of the house earlier . That one I don't get -- I'm out of the house every single day Monday-Friday with 6 or 7 kids depending on the day and NOT once have they been late for preschool. I don't get it. Then again, I don't loose sleep over it.

I try to be on time or early, but DH takes longer than I do to get ready and usually causes us to be late.

 

[MJTinNH]

I usually try to be a bit early.

 

[Nutsy]

Very rare occurence if we are ever late or just on time..........always early.
