Sure, late coming would have bugged a whole bunch of ontime types. I'd like to believe that those in a position of some authority would have a team or department doing the actual work, where timeliness is important. The seniors being in a managerial or supervisory role would be required to merely put in an appearance, sign a couple of letters, dictate the odd i.o.m. and perhaps sign a cheque or two and then toddle off to the nearest golf course.....!!!<br />Hail, hail, the still stretchable time.

I...Delicious topic, especialy for a Sunday morning. Is time getting more valuable? It would seem that technological and sociological advances have made it so. Ooh! I 'm using a lot of big words today. <br /><br />One, the ubiquitous mobile phone has made it virtually impossible to bullshit without weaving treacherous webs of deceit. <br /><br />Two, more opportunities for social entertainment means that impunctual celebrities will stare at empty seats, their audience having moved on to another party. And a celebrity, who is a person who is famous for being famous, would rather die than being ignored.<br /><br />And if all this is sounding a mite incoherent, that's probably because I had a few very punctual drinks last evening.Narendra shenoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00435746867801885684noreply@blogger.com
