E.. interesting conversation going on ... re: time.... I manage time by priority/importance of the event (who/what)... and arbitrage... (are "they" likely to be late... will it really matter if I'm late... ) It's a flexible process.. that allows for mental forgiveness (mine or theirs).

Before proceeding to read other messages, I just had to respond to this one, E. Like you, I tend to be terrifyingly punctual. One person who is very dear to me used to say that he could set his watch by me. I used to think that the people who are habitually late had no respect for my time. I discovered when in my early twenties that there are people like your husband, who operate on ideal time rather than real time. I still find their tardiness annoying, but I am less angry about it. In the past two and a half years, I have discovered another reason for habitual lateness. My main squeeze is always 100% there where ever he is (on top of the ideal time syndrome). His next responsibility is in his awareness but doesn't compel his attention as much as it probably should. Having watched him at work as well as with me, I have learned to take every estimate of his arrival here with a grain of salt: There is always just one more thing that absolutely needs attention before he can leave. I have also learned that I had better watch the time when he is with me or he'll be irredeemably late leaving here.
