Punctuality

     How many of you feel punctuality is an important trait to possess?  For those that are habitually late, do they become annoyed when they are left waiting for someone?   Does punctuality mean nothing to them?  Fortunately, I have had jobs most of my life that required me to be very punctual.  There was no room or tolerance for being late.  For those of you that are late regularly, have you ever lost a job due to your inability to show up to work on time?  I would like to think if that ever happened that should be enough to make you more punctual in the future.  I realize that is not the case in many instances.
  Why is it that some people are ALWAYS on time and others are almost ALWAYS late?  This subject is very interesting to me, because I think it is very rude and inconsiderate to leave somebody waiting.  Time is precious and I think it shows complete disregard for someone's time.  As for being late for work, is that a result of poor work ethic or being a horrible manager of time?  Either way, one should probably take a deeper look at how not being punctual has worked for them throughout their life.  I certainly understand that unforeseen things can happen, however with technology of 2012 it should be very easy to communicate that you are running late and why.
     Let's try and practice being more punctual for work and for our friends and family.  I would be interested to hear if making these adjustments makes a positive difference in your life.
