punctuality is underpracticed, and therefore undervalued .

tune in tomorrow.

this is an interesting one. i used to be a real stickler for punctuality. to the point that i'd call out my friends on it. i realized i was fighting a losing and sometimes pointless battle. people are going to be who they are and it's not really for me to change them. i either accept them or don't. i've adjusted to being punctual with those friends that are as well, and much more loose being punctual with those that i know are more loose with their own punctuality.

for business i'm always on point though. i am not a fan of people wasting my time when i'm working and i give that same respect.

agreed. i have a friend who's always at least half an hour late. i finally wised up and ask him to meet me half an hour before i really want him to arrive anywhere.

i was thinking of work in particular yesterday, though; lately people have been showing up whenever they feel like it (and/or not showing up at all). i work at the front desk in the tutoring center at a college, and i tell students when certain tutors will be available to help them; when the tutors don't show up, the students don't get the help they need, and, because i'm the one who's there, i get the grief. it also makes the center as a whole look unreliable and poorly run.
