I have them so do you. I just have a problem with people pointing them out. I got irritated today because a couple of my friends teased me about my continuous habit of being tardy. Now, I know this character flaw exists in a fair number of Somalis but I try. I really do.
Needless to say I got very offended. I didn't think that my friends should pick on me especially when its something they know I am sensitive about. When I got home I turned all my clocks and watches another five minutes ahead knowing fully well its not going to make a difference.
My tardiness has just become the norm. At work my boss knows I am consistently eight minutes late.It is now a private joke between him and I. When we make plans for meetings outside work, my co-workers always ask me to be somewhere ten minutes ahead of everyone else thereby ensuring I get there on time.
I really just don't know what to do to improve on this character flaw. Help me ;(

LOL. I think I snapped out of tardiness through sheer will and you can too. My issue is that I've always overestimated my driving skills, my luck on the road, and my organizational skills.
I've come to understand that anything my warped mind leads me to believe I can accomplish in 30 minutes, I allot a minimum of an hour. I am now the person who completes work ahead of time and arrives to the restaurant 10-15 minutes before anyone.
Cognitive restructuring of my abilities and talents! ;)
