On more that one occasion I have gotten my self ready for an appointment or a class or meeting and showed up on time only to find out I am exactly 1 hour late or  It’s the wrong day.

The first few times this happened I thought it was a fluke.  Then one day I showed up at my temp job only to find out that I was an hour late.  The whole time I was on my way to work I kept thing to my self, “gee the train is pretty empty for rush hour”.  I walked up to the receptionist desk at exactly 10AM egar to start my new temp job.  I introduced my self and handed her my temp information.  She gave me a funny look and said, “You were supposed to be here at 9AM.”  I looked at my watch it was 10AM.  She then informed me that they already got a replacement and my services were no longer needed.  So I went to the temp agency to get a new assignment and they informed me that they do not tolerate lateness and handed my my pay check.

This doesn’t happen as often now that I am aware of it but it still happens from time to time.
