Can hubski take credit for helping your obvious genius emerge? just kidding, young genius. Credit goes to YOUR MOM!!! and to you. You've been working hard and putting up with all the crap at your school - like the time they disallowed access to the toilets!!?? (was that you or nowaypablo I forget.
You guys can take all the credit you want. You're pretty much my favorite people. And yeah, the toilets were me. Fortunately that was resolved; now my constituents have new policies to complain about (harsher punishments for tardies, which I maintain are perfectly reasonable).
I agree, perfectly reasonable. But I may not be the most reasonable person to ask :) I am pathologically early.harsher punishments for tardies, which I maintain are perfectly reasonable
If there is one thing I cannot stand in an employee, a co-worker, a family member or friend, it's when they are late to a meeting or event. Nothing tells the person you are meeting with you "don't care" about them more than being late. Someone took the time to prepare for something, to get there on time, but you're a half hour late?? Fuck you. ....Care. Plan. Get there.
I was talking to my mom about this the other day, and she told me about a woman she knew that once, when asked why she was always 15+ min early to everything, explained that being late was basically disrespecting whomever you're meeting, signalling that their time is less important than yours. So she made sure that she and her family were never late.
Your mom was wise to share this with you, it's an extremely important attribute to have in life. Anyone that says otherwise or thinks otherwise is wrong. It absolutely tells someone that your time is more valuable than theirs. Even if you are a busier person, with more on your plate, you show great composure and thoughtfulness by being on time or early. Also, I consider being "on time" for a reservation at a restaurant the same thing. This is a business that depends on being able to "turn tables" in a timely manor and you are going to be 30 minutes late... fuck you. :) Don't be that guy.
