The new normal: Late for work every day!

If you are constantly late for work there are things you can do other than think up creative alibis. Such as “the dog ate my alarm clock!” You can:
Go to bed earlier.
Lay out your clothes the night before.
If you were in the military, you could revert to the old days and shave the night before.

Those are all good, nay great, ideas.

But what if you shave at night, sleep in your clothes, get extra shuteye and leave an hour or two earlier, and you are still late for work?

Unlike some members of Congress who sleep, shave, shower and live in their offices, civil servants aren’t allowed to live, rent free with free maid service, where they work. So what to do? It’s a timely question because more people are finding that their commute times are getting longer and longer. How come?

It will only get worse as the school aged children enter the work force. With all the delays for fog, the temps and whatever the "in" reason is, I doubt they will work at all. We are creating a generation of children who will have an excuse for everything, and a reason for being late is one of them.

I am retired now; however, when I was working if an employee was late 2 or 3 times, they would no longer have a job. Guess employers are not allowed to do that now.
