Tardiness Begone!

The company that I work for is pretty anal about being on time. Last month I had to send out an email to explain why I was late on those days. Goes without saying that I was pretty tardy. I did not come in that late, just about a few minutes or so but its still late nonetheless. We run a tag system at entrances so everything is pretty much recorded. After giving my reasons I had to send out another email to tell about my remedial actions.

I could go on ranting about them being anal about the 'small stuff' and all but late is still late regardless of whether it be minutes or hours. The solution was simple, just come in earlier. The marginal utility of coming in early far outweighed risking being late by coming in 'on the dot'. So here I am, sitting in the 15 minutes earlier than usual (pats self on the back).

Work has started to roll in and I have 5 reports now. From what I can see, pretty soon I'd be having the usual trend of 15 backlogged reports. I hope I'd be able to ease the burden on the department. That's why they took me in anyway, more surveyors to distribute surveys to.
