Excuse me sir, is your watch broken?
Contrary to popular belief, there are actually 2 different measurements of time in the world. There is the time that we're all used to, and then there is CP time. CP stands for "colored people" time, and CP time runs a little bit later than regular time. For instance, if you tell a colored person to meet you at 4pm, the colored person will start to think about getting ready to meet you at 4pm, and then finally at 6pm, s/he will meet you whereever.
I don't believe in CP time and it is probably my biggest pet peeve/OCD trait.
Apperently, I didn't get the memo about adhereing to CP time.
I mean, is it really that hard to be on time? I'm pretty sure people are self-aware of how long it takes them to do whatever it needs to get ready. Is it so hard to allow youself enough time before to get ready to be there on time? Let's say, for example, you have to meet somebody at 4pm. It takes 30 minutes to drive to the meeting place, takes you 15 minutes to shower, 10 minutes to change into your clothing, and assuming you are a female (or male...whatever floats your boat), takes you 20 minutes for makeup. So, you take a shower at 2:45, change at 3:00, makeup at 3:10, drive off at 3:30 and arrive at 4. Isn't that easy???
What it comes down to is that people have no time management. Sure, I can understand if someone is 5-10 minutes late, that's understandable. But 30 minutes late? Come on...
But over the years, I've learned to tolerate CP time, but its one thing to be late, and be late and not inform the others that you will be late. If you're gonna be late, at least have the courtesy to let the other party know you will be late. That way they aren't worrying about if they got stood up or if you are alright.
In closing, people who are late and don't call ahead of time piss me off.
Good night. And happy birthday to Sandy(23rd), my sister Jen Sun (28th), and my "recently acquinted and impossible to hang out with because her planner is completely packed" friend Lani(also the 28th).
