But back in the Good Old Days, the performance was far better. Before the Fall of 2007, I was on time every day. Now it’s a rare, embarrassing event to be on time. It affects my staff whom I expect to be on time (see About) and my standing in my company as well as my salary and the cost of lost appointments. I don’t care if it says in January, my line (Frankline is (wow, golly) up to 71% - that is unacceptable and it costs me money and credibility.

How about you?
