being late

talking about punctuality, i think i'm getting worse. i have been late for work almost everyday but the latest is just for half an hour, still can't beat my friend who is still the reigning ms late queen. i supposed that this has developed into a habit due to other people being late, and naturally, you wouldn't want to be early as you will be waiting for other people.

recently, we had a gathering to celebrate my birthday and everyone was late except for one. i can understand why she was so pissed off because everyone else was late and really late. i have also experienced that before and after imposing a penalty for latecomers, the situation got better but not for long and everyone started being late again. why is there a phenomenon of being late when the time has been fixed? this can be clearly seen at wedding dinners and i think those people who are late for more than an hr and reach only ard 9pm are really ridiculous when the invitation clearly states 7.30pm.

i tried waking up earlier everyday so that i can reach office on time but apparently i have failed to do that. i must try to kick off the habit asap. think i have been saying that since i started my new job which is 3 months ago. :)
