Title: Early or late
Post by: melodylogan45 on August 12, 2016, 04:33:36 am
Are you usually early or late when you arrive at work? I am a early bird
Because it stresses me out to be late. I cannot get my day started right, so I like to
be early.

I was always early to work. At least an hour early. I was taught that from a young age.

I try to be early no matter where I go, like appointments. I think it's always better to be early than late. Sometimes being late can't be helped, like if there's an accident or something.

I try to be always on time and hate when I arrive on time for an appointment and have to wait because they have over scheduled!

I can  only think of one time i was late for work, it was because i went to the dentist arrived before my time and  was made to to wait over a hour and a half before he saw me and then left me in the chair while he took care of another  person. So i was  about  a half hour late for work as i had to go back home and change, walked into the door and the phone was ringing. one of my employees was calling to see if i was ok because i was late.  They were so used to me being early.

I'm usually a little early everywhere I go. Its because I set my clocks 5 minutes ahead of actual time.

I'm usually early when I get to work. I can fix my breakfast, log in to my computer and check email and chat with co-workers before I get into work.

I try to arrive about ten minutes early to work. I don't like to be too early because then I have to sit down and wait. I hate being late to work or any where. I get too stressed out.

When I did work, I did like to get to work early. It was so nice to get in before the phones start to ring and everyone else was in.

Early.   
I worked my first job where you'd get fired after acquiring so many late marks, so that "trained" me right for the future.  :)

Well, better early than late. I usually show up on time. If I'm early, I just hang out and get other less important things done in the meantime.

It seems to be unanimous with the FCers that responded thus far.

So, me too. I am an early bird for everything.

When I was going to work (retired now, thank goodness), I would always make it my business to get there early so that I could organize my work load, desk and oh, yeah, have that cup of Joe!!

I usually try to be early.  You never know what might come up on the way somewhere so its better to be early instead of late.  I hate walking in somewhere late.

I am early every morning and I commute! It bugs me when I live the furthest and some people come in late every day including the boss (nice role model) when they live closer to work. HA! I love the favoritism and a corrupt work life! It's so unhealthy! Oh well, have to earn a pay check some how. lol

As a kid, our principal always talked about "Lombardi Time" - Coach Vince Lombardi would start player meeting 15 minutes before the scheduled time, so if you weren't there 15 minutes early, you were late. 50+ years later, this idea has stuck in my head and if I am not 15 minutes early, I think I am late (even if I am technically on time)  Its a blessing and a curse!  :)

I get to work early. It gives me a chance to get mentally prepared for the day.

I arrive early to work. I like to have 30 minutes to get situated, check emails, and plan my schedule before it goes into high gear.

I am a nature early bird, and so I am almost always early for work. I have OCD when it comes to time and punctuality, so I always need to have a wristwatch with me. Without it, I go absolutely stir-crazy. :-P

I am retired but work part time and I have the same habit I had when I was in the workforce full time, to arrive early. I was never late for work, I tend to be early for all my appointments and to any events, that way I do not feel rushed; just in my nature I guess.

I was always early when it was a new job and I was nervous; but, when I became comfortable I was on time.

I try to be at least a few minutes early for everything.  Stresses me out to be late, but sometimes it happens.
