As I write this I am sitting in my truck 30 minutes early for an important lunch meeting. I find it has become a huge habbit of mine to get there extremely early and do not remember the last time I was late.

Not to say that the person I am meeting with will be late, but 9/10 times I have a meeting the other person is 15-20 minutes late. Is our business culture becoming more like latin america in this regard? Does this happen to any of yall?

It may be because I dont live in the city. I dont know...
