Don't say...things don't start on time.
I attended another school meeting last night (pictured with car in background) and GORD it pee's me right off when they don't start or finish on time.
I am flexible to a point. I don't mind 10 - 15 minutes either way...things happen and you can't always run to schedule....but it just seems to me that NO ONE is running on time at the moment.
Last night, they said a strict start time of 6.30pm - ok - I was there at 6.25pm sitting in my seat and they say "A group of people think the start time is 7pm so we'll wait for them. You don't mind do you ?"......Oh, I minded. Luckily another person spoke up and told them that they could easily be at home working or putitng children to bed...so they begrudgingly started.
We didn't finish until 9pm either...so I was tired and cranky and everyone knows that 9pm is way past my bedtime.
Do you expect meetings to wait for you if you are running late ?
