punctuality revisited

there are a 101 reasons to be late
out of which probably only less than 10 are perfectly legitimate excuses
punctuality is a discipline thing
a self discipline issue

im an arts student yah
and im punctual most of the time [yes..i do get slightly late sometimes]
contrary to stereotype that all arts people are hopelessly late
although looking at the way most people work
its no wonder that they form such an impression
i was the recipient of such terrible conduct the past few days

what i cannot stand is the fact that the problem feeds itself
people assume that the project meeting would begin late..
since people are inevitably going to come late anyway
so they purposely turn up late!?
like hello..you are part of the problem!
go figure *insert cross look*

i have promise myself that i would be an anomaly
to prove the very sorry stereotype wrong
in any case, i can never understand how people can be so baltently/chronically late
i think its reasonable up to a max of 15 mins [and its already pushing it]
anything more..you clearly didnt mean to appear on time at all
i get back to this..lateness is a life style

i wonder actually
if you cant have the discipline to get to school on time
what makes you think that you would lose this bad habit in time for work next time?
and if you cant have the discipline to attend group meetings on time
what makes you think that board meetings/meetings with clients would be different?
its a real perplexity
