Terminally late.

The problem with someone like me who is terminally late is when I'm actually on time, and no one notices, no one believes me.

Yesterday, Leo told me that 11:00 is too late to come in, be on time.

I got caught behind the bridge today, so I was in at 10:14, according to the clock in my car.  Unfortunately no one saw me until 11:45... so I was late.

I'm not sure how that's possible, since it's just now 11:47, but still.

Perception is reality.

Let's backtrack a little bit.  It's 11:48 as of this sentence.  My WinAmp says it's been running for 78 minutes. That means I loaded the WinAmp stream at 10:30.  Before I came into my office, I fixed a problem on the printer, which took me around 10 minutes, which puts me at 10:20.  I checked my email and responded to IMs before I loaded WinAmp, that puts me in about 5 minutes earlier than what WinAmp says.

That's 10:15.  Pretty close to what I said.  However, that's not what was observed by my partners, so it's not what reality is.  Reality is I got chewed out like a minimum wage slave for being late.

How you see things isn't always correct.  Don't always assume you are correct.
