Public Service Announcement: A Word On Tardiness

I would like to take a moment to define "on time"... "On time" means arriving to your designated location with enough time for you to get situated and be ready and able to begin your task at the previously determined time. For example, oh I don't know, let's say you were a student and your class began at, oh let me just pull out a random time of 8:00AM. That would mean you should get to campus with enough time to park, get into class and be in your seat, READY TO BEGIN YOUR EXAM, no later than 8:00AM. That does not mean you casually stroll in to class at exactly 8:00AM and make everyone else wait for you. You especially do not want to do this when the professor has not had a day off in, oh I don't know, TWO WEEKS, and will not have a day off for another week and is overtired because SHE has managed to get there on time, even though she would much rather be in bed, enjoying a lazy SUNDAY morning and having a Skype coffee date... But I digress.

Now, this has obviously been a random example and by no means is it a true story, but figured it was an important matter to discuss.

This has been a public service announcement!
