Late!!!

Tick tock, the sound of a clock, why do we have a problem with time keeping.  We have endless devices displaying the time, we have even more gadgets designed to save us time, particularly in the morning.  yet we have the audacity to turn up late.

Once you have arrived somewhere late, you are telling that person or organisation, I really don’t care about you and your rules.

Being late is rude and arrogant, you are basically saying ‘Wait for me’ Whatever I am doing is more important than being on time.

Some people speak of different time zones, they make references to JMT Jamaican Mean Time, AFT African Meantime oh yes lets not forget Black Man’s Time.  Sorry to tell everywhere your time is defined by the area you reside in not by your cultural background.  If we really were going by Jamaican Time, we could expect people to turn up 5 hours lat.

I have been late sometime, it often starts from the night before, where I haven’t got to bed on time, wake up feeling tiered, (I hit snooze a few times ) wake up 25 minutes later then I am scheduled to do and of course I am running late and I spend the day trying to make up the time.  I am sad to say it is not possible to gain the loss time!

#43 Late Again

Late for work again

Nothing other than death

Is a suitable excuse

Whatever you say is just a ruse

When it comes to redundancies

You will be the one they cut loose

You walk in nonchalant

As if it doesn’t matter

Everyone stops their chatter

Pause momentarily to check

An imaginary clock

It’s all been noted

The time you trotted up

So you try to explain

What’s that you say?

The bus, the plane, the train

The person has stopped listening

It doesn’t matter what you say

What’s going around in their brain

This person is a chalaton

A Liar, unreliable

Definitely not a team player

You spend the day

working extra hard

Even skipping lunch

You make sure you are the

Last one to leave

Hoping everyone will forget

The boss you are trying to appease

Maybe if you could turn back time

What would you do differently

Where to begin on the list? 

Just simply get to work on time
