Duck and Ducklings



“This may offend some, but only because it’s going to cut close to the bone for many.  I don’t care if I sound old-fashioned, because actually it’s nothing to do with fashion. It’s got everything to do with basic good manners and respect for other people. How did it get to be okay for people to be late for everything? As far as I am concerned, it’s not okay. In recent years it seems a meeting set to start at 9:00 for some people means in the general area. People drift in at 9:20 or later. They smile at the waiting group, apparently unconcerned that others have been there since 8:55, ready to start. 10 people kept waiting 20 minutes is actually 20 minutes times 10, which is 200 minutes wasted – because you didn’t catch the earlier bus. That’s over 3 hours wasted. How much has that cost the business? Shall I send you an invoice?” – Greg Savage
