Anybody that knows me even the slightest bit knows this is a HUGE pet peeve of mine. Some people just skate by on "But that's just the way I am!" BULLSHIT. It's a habit. It can be broken. Set your clocks ahead. Lay out your clothes early. Put gas in your car the night before. On occasion it cannot be helped...You get a flat tire, you have a sick kid, you break a heel as you walk out the door...I get it. But generally it's the same people over and over again. By you being late, you're telling me that your time is more valuable than mine. That it's ok for me to wait on you, because you're clearly more important than I am. It's unprofessional, inconsiderate and downright rude. My girls have a contract with me that they sign yearly. In it there is a punctuality clause. For every minute they are late to rehearsal, they run 3 flights of stairs in their heels. Generally, they are only late one time. After two times, I pull them off the schedule. Not only are they wasting MY time, but there are another 10 girls waiting on them as well. It's just TOTALLY unacceptable. As one of my girls put it, "To be early is to be on time. To be on time is to be late. And to be late is to run the stairs in heels."
