I am late a few times a year! I overslept this morning so I will stay home instead of commuting into the office.
-
Like once a week? But it's not a big deal.
LO was a mess super early this morning - up from 4-530, woudl only sleep lying on top of me, eating - and I hit the snooze until 730. I still dropped him off at daycare, ran to Dunkin, and got to work at 8:59. That will give me more of a sense of accomplishment than anything else i'll do today at work...ha.
ETA: I'm never more than 15 minutes late. And when I am late, I make sure i'm not out the door at 5 pm.
-
I don't have set office hours, so I can arrive/leave when I want. So technically, I am never late! But for me personally, if I arrive after 8:30 I feel like I am running behind all day. : /
-
I have a self imposed start time of 7 am, so if I come in later, I feel behind all day!
I don't count appointments though, as being late!
-
Ugh frequently. Our commute is so long and I have to get up so early already. It is hard to get us all up and out the door on time.
-
Almost never, but that's because DH does drop offs. He's late every day. Oops.
-
I'm usually not late. If I am, it's 1-2 minutes, which don't matter. It's better if I leave on time because if I leave just 10 minutes later, traffic is god-awful!!
-
Almost everyday I'm 2-5 minutes late!
-
If I'm 2-5 minutes late I don't really worry. But a few times a year I am up to an hour late.
-
Never. It makes me anxious. I'm always at work at least 15 minutes before I need to start.
-
Never, and if I am it's only a few minutes which isn't a big deal. The only time I'm late is if I have a scheduled appointment and l them know.
-
@mediagirl: Same! 15-20 minutes makes a huge difference!
-
Everyday??? lol I normally get to work between 8:05-8:20, I should be here at 8. But then again no one in my dept gets here on time either. Most of the time I'm the first person in, so I'm not concerned one bit!
-
Daily. My boss is super relaxed about it though. We have tons of road construction going on so you never know what traffic is going to be like.
-
Never. The nurses I'm replacing have been there for 12.5 hours already and can't leave 'til I get there and take report so it's a big deal to be late. That being said - I'm very lucky that DH drops M off at her sitter's in the morning. That eliminates a lot of variables for me.
-
Daily! 5-10 min, my boss is super laid back though.
-
I make my own schedule based on workload so I'm never really late.
-
Daily. I can really get there any time as long as I'm there a full 8 hours, but I like to get there around 8:30. That just rarely happens.
-
Now that I'm back after maternity leave, I've never been officially late. I'm a teacher and am always there by my contracted start time. However I prefer to get to work early but that's impossible with dropping DS off at daycare, dropping DH off at work and commuting. So, I'm late by my standards everyday.
-
Never before LO came along. Now usually one morning a week, I am running late. No one cares but I try really hard to be here at 730
-
A few times a year. I don't like being late!
-
Almost never. Being late makes me incredibly nervous. I always leave at least 15 minutes before I really need to in order to be on time (usually more than that). There was an accident on my way to work this morning so I arrived right on time and was even nervous about that!
-
Never before LO. But now I frequently arrive a few minutes late. Probably a 2-3 times a week. It's usually only like 2-5 minutes and I'm usually first to arrive so no one even knows I'm a little late.
-
Average 3 times a year, all in the winter. On a nice sunny normal day, it takes me around 45 minutes to commute to work. In the winter after a huge snowfall, it's a 3-hour bumper-to-bumper traffic jam and I'm always late.
-
@anonysquire: same! I consider being 5-10 minutes early "late".
-
Never! (Ok, twice ever.) I'm a teacher and you just can't be late. The bell rings at 7:30.
-
Too often lol. In our defence we own the company so we can work whenever we want.
I think the hours of overtime I put in a week makes up for being 5-15 minutes late on most days.
-
Almost never. I'll be 1-2 min late every now and then but I really hate being late.
-
I'm never late. I'm actually always 15 mins early. I should stop leaving so early!!
