Good Question: Why Are People Late?

So I showed up to work a half-hour late today, and as I walked in, I was ambushed by my partner, photographer Joe Berglove.  He wanted to know why I was late.  After I made up a bunch of excuses, he told me that our story today is about why people are late.

Wonderful.   I actually was called into the boss' office about a year ago, and asked, "How can we remove the obstacles you have to getting to work on time?"  It was the nicest way someone ever asked me: "Why are you late?"  Before that chat, I was consistently ten to fifteen minutes late.  Now I'm almost always on time or early.  (Today I had a meeting I neglected to tell anyone about.)

Anyway, are you a late or early person?  Why?  Help me answer the question, and I'll use it on TV at ten!
