knew this was coming. Waiting for it in fact. haha
I am not prejudiced or biased, but after working for Japanese company for a year, I am amazed how many people got marked down for being not early enough. Example: Official time to start work is 8.30am. Boss there at 8.15am. Anyone who arrives at 8.20 am would be given a talk on how they can be more committed to the job!

Let's just say despite being Chinese, I don't understand the concept of Chinese time. So this week, we have training at 8:30. I work at a firm with professionals, but come 8:30, I sit alone with the facilitator, as sure as the sun rises in the east. Without fail, this happens all 3 days. Most roll in for 9 or 9+. One arrives quarter to 10
.
My wife's sense of time drives me crazy sometimes too

I'm usually on time for appointments, but just not for work
Really not a morning person.
