    Default Punctuality

    For thirty years, Munruben had arrived at work at 9 A.M., on the dot.

    He had never missed a day and was never late.

    Consequently, when on one particular day 9 A.M. passed without
    Munruben's arrival, it caused a sensation.

    All work ceased and the boss himself, looking at his watch and
    muttering, came out into the corridor.

    Finally, precisely at ten, Munruben showed up, clothes dusty and torn,
    his face scratched and bruised, his glasses bent.

    He limped painfully to the time clock, punched in, and said, aware
    that all eyes were upon him, "I tripped and rolled down two flights
    of stairs in the subway. Nearly killed myself."

    The boss said, "And to roll down two flights of stairs took you an
    entire hour?"
    Androgens Order
    Forgive your enemies, but never, ever forget their names.
    The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naïve forgive and forget; the wise forgive but never forget.

    Actually it was the second time I had been late, the first time was when I was stuck on an escalator for 2 hours due to a power cut.
    Reality is no background music.
