get over chronic lateness
Not too bad... 1 year ago

For starters that is. The only thing I could ever consistently get to on time was class. However, I’m done with coursework so my life is now devoid of any pockets of punctuality.

However, I’m resolved to get over my chronic lateness problem, and I didn’t do too bad this week. I teach at my university and getting on time to my classes has usually not been a problem, but there have been many days when I’m pulling into the parking lot five minutes before my classes and sprinting all the way to my classroom. But this week I got to school 20-30 minutes before my classes begin, which gives me some time to check email, make copies, and collect my thoughts before I go off to teach. I also managed to arrive at my other job on time as well, which is usually not easy for me.

Good for you!

I think this is a great goal.

I tend to be on time and I know it hurts my feelings a bit when my friends aren’t. It definitely seems – whether it’s true or not! – that they are somehow indicating that my time is less important than theirs. I have no idea if you’re ever late for friends or if they are as hyper-sensetive as I am… but I know that being on time never hurts a relationship : )

I can’t wait to read more about how this is progressing. Please do keep us posted.

Yay, you!

Thanks!

It is a good goal and I’m doing okay with this. I teach at 9:30 this semester, which is 30 minutes later than last semester, so I’m hoping that will enable me to get to campus with plenty of time to spare in the mornings. However, this is only the second week of school so we’ll see how my timeliness is going to work out.

And, in a proud moment, I was ten minutes early when I met my aunt for lunch on Friday. Only a small victory, but I felt good about it.
