Friday Fives - I Don't Feel Tardy

Post by buffettbride »

1. Are you timely or always late?
Timely. Very timely. Usually early. Perpetually. To a fault. Lateness frustrates me very much, whether it's my period or my in-laws!!!

2. Do you wear a watch?
Nope. The clock on my cell phone is probably the closest thing. I like watches, but I've never found one that fits just right and doesn't irritate my skin.

3. What is the most important event you have been late for?
Gosh. I can't even remember. I'm hardly ever late and if I am, it's not usually to any fault of my own. Actually, now that I think of it, in my younger days when I was sooooo bad, I was working the 4:30 am shift at my job. Partying began to interfere (I usually went to work instead of going to bed) and there was a spell when I just couldn't make it on time. Switched my schedule to start at 7:30 am and world order was once restored!

4. What kind of system you have for keeping track of your bills?
His name is Matthew and he is my husband!! I don't even know that I could balance our checkbook today if I tried. :lol:

5. What is your favorite time of day?
Mmm. I like when I've been up all night and I get to watch the sunrise. On a more regular basis, I like when my house is clean and the kids are put to bed!!

1. Are you timely or always late?
I don't have to be at work until 9:30. I'm usually here between 8:00-8:15.

Yes, I came to work without it one day and I felt like I was missing a body part.

When I was in college I was late for my part-time job a few times. Drinking may have been involved.

4. What kind of system you have for keeping track of your bills?
I have a calendar hanging on the outside of my bedroom closet. When I get a bill in the mail the first thing I do is go to the calendar and write "PAY _____" a week before the due date.

5. What is your favorite time of day?
As long as I'm still breathing, I don't care what time it is.

1. Are you timely or always late?
Early. Always.

2. Do you wear a watch?
I own about 8 of them, but the one I always wear is my Harley Davidson one that I got in Key West in 2000 as a wedding present.

3. What is the most important event you have been late for?
Can't remember.

4. What kind of system you have for keeping track of your bills?
They're all paid via automatic payment from my checking account. I check my account every day on line to keep up. That's been my way of doing it for over five years now, and it seems to be working.

5. What is your favorite time of day?
Early morning.

I would rather DIE than be late. To me, if I'm not then minutes early, I'm late.

2. Do you wear a watch?
Nope. The clock on my cell phone is probably the closest thing. I pretty much just always know what time it is, within five or ten minutes.

3. What is the most important event you have been late for?
I was late for work. Once. Ever. Really.

4. What kind of system you have for keeping track of your bills?
No new fangled techno-stuph phor me. On notebook paper, I have a budget...for each paycheck, I have written down what bills have to be paid from it.

5. What is your favorite time of day?
It doesn't happen very often, but I LOVE it on Saturday or Sunday, when I wake up in the morning, and realized I can go back to sleep. I LOVE to sleep!

1. Are you timely or always late?
Timely for the most part with an occasional late. I'm usually 'technically' late to work every day, but no one notices so I don't suppose I'm really late for anything then.

2. Do you wear a watch?
Certainly. But mostly for fashion... I never really look at it for the time.

3. What is the most important event you have been late for?
I missed almot an entire wedding ceremony once... I saw the groom kiss the bride and it was over! :-?

4. What kind of system you have for keeping track of your bills?
All in my head... as is my calendar. I get paid once a month at the beginning. Therefore, I have all my bills deducted shortly after I'm paid and then I assess how much money I have left to blow over the course of the rest of the month

5. What is your favorite time of day?
In the spring, summer & fall I like afternoons & early evenings. In the winter I hate life in general so I don't like any part of the day

Can't think of any.

1. Are you timely or always late?
Usually early.

2. Do you wear a watch?
Yes, always. Even to bed at night. I feel weird without it.

3. What is the most important event you have been late for?
When I was a freshman in college, I was in an 8 a.m. French class with a really hard teacher. I had already missed my allowed number of absences and had promised the prof. it would not happen again. The day of our midterm exam, I overslept my alarm and was late. He was really pi$$ed at me about it, but after I started crying, he agreed to let me make up the exam later.

4. What kind of system you have for keeping track of your bills?
Hubby takes care of all of that stuff.

5. What is your favorite time of day?
Probably evenings....after work when I get to spend time with hubby and 'keet.

1. Are you timely or always late?
I used to be obsessively early but since I got married, 5 years ago, I have begun to push the envelope on punctuality. I blame my husband and he blames me.

2. Do you wear a watch?
All the time except to bed and in the shower. I feel lost without it.

3. What is the most important event you have been late for?
I remember once in college when I played Division I volleyball, I was late to an early Saturday morning practice. My alarm clock malfunctioned and I was about 30 minutes late. I jumped right out of bed and hit the floor. My legs were numb and unable to hold me up. Fortunately I wasn't hurt.

4. What kind of system you have for keeping track of your bills?
My system varies. I do good for awhile keeping my checkbook balanced and then I get lazy and have to play catch-up for a month or so. This is something I definitely need to improve.

5. What is your favorite time of day?
Between 4 and 8 PM. And in the mornings when I beg my husband to just lay with me and not get out of bed. We love to snuggle. :) :oops:
