I'm compulsively early. It drives my wife nuts. She's happy to arrive at a meeting a minute before we're due, or five minutes after. I'd rather arrive a half hour early and either browse in a book store or wait in the car so we can arrive five minutes early. To me, there is no excuse for being late. "The bus was late" is not an excuse. There is always an earlier bus. A flat tire is not an excuse. Leave enough time to fix it if it should happen. In the military, not being where you are supposed to be when you are supposed to be there is called 'Failure to Repair' and it is a criminal offense. I just think it's rude to be late for a meeting. It affects other people's schedules. The last time I was late for anything was 1987. I'm still embarrassed by it.

The good news is that I was able to catch a plane leaving three hours later even if it went to a different airport.

Arriving in a different county is always fun.
