Who here can actually keep a schedule?

[Neoma]

I try and I try and I only make myself frustrated.

[kentauros]

1. What's a shedule?

Other than getting to and from work at the hours asked of me, oh, and feeding my cat when he demands it (6am/6pm), I don't have a schedule. Then again, I live alone

[Angleae]

13. I think it's that thing you use to check when the buses are coming.

If that's not it, then I have no idea.


PS: I live alone too.

[Iggo]

15. Like the lady in Forrest Gump said...

"Oh, there'll be another one along shortly."

I take the bus home from work every day (three of them, actually), and those wise words keep me further away from that heart attack I got coming.

Others: "Ain't that your bus?"
Me: "Oh, there'll be another one along shortly."

[kentauros]

16. Unless you're taking the (one) rail service here,

I think Houston Metro's motto should be "You can't get there from here."

So, while a bus may be along any minute, more than likely it's going places you don't want to go

[OriginalGeek]

2. Not me

I recognize this about me and don't plan accordingly anyway.

[dixiegrrrrl]

3. I can..me me me me..ask meeeee!!!!!

The cats and the dog and the chickens insist on it.

[Neoma]

4. Do you also fit in...

Learning how to juggle, play guitar, ride a unicycle, how to do the robot and walk on your hands?

Or is it more acedemic where you learn astrophysics and neurology in your spare time?

[dixiegrrrrl]

6. I trek the inter-tubes most of the time.

Having discovered that housework is hghly over-rated, in between creature feedings I keep to a tight online educational schedule.
Today I learned that Russian drivers are worth several hours of YouTube time.

[Neoma]

18. I learned the same thing.

Good for Jon Stewart to point that out.

[elleng]

5. I can, do, and always have,

along with flexibility for changes in plans due to circumstances.

Used to have desk calendar at office and home calendar; now keep calendar in my purse.

[applegrove]

7. I used to be 5 minutes late all the time. I cured myself of that when I was 35 or 36.

Now I don't feel guilt every time.

[a la izquierda]

11. Come cure my husband.

At least 6 generations of men in the military, and he can never get out of the house on Tim. One router-a former Marine- made us all late to his daughter's baptism because he got in the shower two minutes before we had to leave...for a service clear across the city...in Southern California.

My husband is the same, and we are always late.

8. A lifelong struggle

If you're talking +/- 15 min, I'm Mr. Punctual most of the time. But I don't worship the clock, or freak out if I get stuck in traffic for a few minutes - this makes some bosses nuckin' futs!

[kentauros]

17. I'm so happy "flex time" was invented!

Even though where I work now prefers we all get here and start work by 7:30, I tend to get in earlier. If I wait any later, traffic gets worse.

I suppose some industries require people get there by a certain time (banking, anything to do with the markets) but for the most part, flex time is sufficient. It would certainly help in spreading out the amount of traffic every morning (afternoons are heavy in traffic no matter what time of day.)

And there's no sense in rushing if you're late. It won't set the clock back

[HeiressofBickworth]

9. I'm retired

What is this "schedule" you are referring to?

[Neoma]

19. It's where you figure out what time during the day to read a book between meals.

[fizzgig]

10. i don't have much of a schedule

other than when i have to be at work, which is a five minute drive, and the odd doctor's appointment. i usually try to get myself out of the house about ten minutes before i have to, but sometimes i just pretend to.

[union_maid]

12. Schedule?

Well, I get to work on time most days. After than that I usually go home and scare up supper for mr. union_made and the union made four leggers. Everything else is better described as a routine rather than a schedule. It usually only matters to me when I do what I do.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

14. My brother and his wife. They are slaves to the calendar and the clock. Their lives revolve around

their schedules. In their defense, they get a lot done and are tireless in their efforts. They lead very full lives.

Kind of envious, actually.

[Neoma]

20. See, that's exactly what I want.

Getting a lot done.

[Gorp]

21. I was supposed to work on it an hour ago. I'm late again.

[Neoma]

22. A fellow procrastinator?

[Gorp]

24. I always wanted to be a procrastinator but I never got around to it.

[NV Whino]

23. I keep a schedule just fine…

As long as no other people are involved.
