Late
Late seemed like a good word for this week. Monday is the day I post the Word for the Week and it is now Wednesday. I don’t like being late. Matter of fact the challenge for me is being chronically early. I am happy to say I am getting better. Fortunately for me and my blood pressure I am rarely irritated by the lateness of others, although I am occasionally disappointed.
My reason for being late this week is ‘due to technical difficulties’; sort of…. I was out-of-town and I had every confidence that I could use another computer to access the admin side of my Website and complete my obligation in a timely fashion. I did not expect that because I was operating from a different computer that I would be asked for my password, which I didn’t have; not on paper, not in memory. I tried a few times to put the right sequence together ( I do have some idea), but alas, it just would not click in.
So I am late. We are all late at times for various reasons. My plane was late yesterday because of a persistent headwind. I am dashing around this morning so I won’t be late for my 9:00 appointment, which I ‘m intuiting is going to go overtime and then I will be late for the 10:30.
How do you handle being late, being too early, waiting, waiting and sometimes waiting some more?
