    Are you the type of person to always get somewhere 5 minutes early, exactly on time... or always late? And why?

    Extremely early, sometimes 30 mins if not even more early before clocking in at all my previous jobs (currently as a School psychologist there isn't a set-time).

    Call it old-fashioned but I do pride myself on never calling out or being late and being disciplined. I saw my pops take me and my mom out the hood by pure dedication, just trying on to carry tradition I guess.

    Normally 30-45 minutes early for any kind of interview or event.

    Always try to get to any appointment/outing/event at least half hour earlier. I just hate having to be waited on.

    In general I'm slow to get going to where I need to be, and can run a little late


    ...unless it's for work. Then I'm always early

    I show up 2 hrs to work early, like almost every time, cause I’m self conscious about being late I guess, & I don’t think I have enough time before I’m scheduled to do anything.

    Like for example, if I’m scheduled at 230, I’ll leave my house like at 12 or something.

    I was always the type of person to show up early for everything. In college it became the opposite.

    One of my biggest pet hates is poor time keeping. There's simply no excuse.
