Seeing as we all have a love of watches in common, how "on time" are you? 

How important is the concept of time in your everyday existence?

I hate to be late anyplace. My folks and the Navy taught me to always try my best to arrive early. The only thing I ever want to be late for is my own funeral. If a decade or 2 late no biggy. :D

On time i agree about wasting others time. Really hate it when others are late for appointments and waste my time.

While I was in the USAF as a Special Ops Pilot (see my avatar) being on time to the second was critical!!! hand6.gif  But, now that I'm retired I arrive to the important appointments a little early.  The less important functions I get there when I get there. woohoo.gif  Although, I hack the watch I'm going to wear for the day each morning using the Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado.  I guess some habits are going to be with me for the rest of my life.  cool10.gif

Depends if I'm going alone or with my wife. If I'm alone I'm up to a half hour early. If I'm going with the wife 30 minutes to an hour late.crap.gif

It seems were all sticklers for being on time.  I hate being late, even if it's beyond my contyrol, I still feel I did not plan properly.

I also hate people who can't keep appointments with me on time.watch2.gif

I too hate being late, but sometimes
its beyond my control. However, I
do call ahead just to let people at work
that I'll be a few minutes behind.

Being late drives me crazy, especially when it is beyond my control (traffic etc.)

My old boss used to tell me, "Griff, 5 minutes early is 10 minutes late" :D  He was a retired Lt. Col., USAF and he really went nuts when someone was late.

Cheers,
Griff

I was brought up  with the philosophy that being punctual is a way to show respect.  I'm not taking any chances, so always make sure I have a dependable timepiece at hand!subtlelaugh.gif

Now things would go really well if my wife shared the same sentiments about being punctual.....................coyote2.gif

I am in the same boat. Whenever I am going somewhere I can get myself and the kids there on time. If my wife is involved we are a hour hour late!!! Drives me nuts even after 14 years of marriage.crap.gif
