How late to work do you have to be, before your mad rush to get there as quickly as possible, turns into a leisurely stroll, because it does not matter anymore?

When I punched a time clock, the clock would register another tenth of an hour every 6 minutes. When they wanted you there and ready for work at 8 o’clock. they meant it!

Half an hour late, I wouldn’t bother to rush.
2 minutes late, I wouldn’t bother to rush.
It’s not as if you can drive so fast as to make the clock go backwards.
My boss was pretty laid back about this.
He knew who made up for it by their work quality, and who would not (or who would sometimes stay a while longer without being asked to, to finish something.

If I was that late to work, I wouldn’t stroll, because there would be no point in showing up at all. Wouldn’t it better to save your energy altogether and take a day off instead?

At that precise moment when the rush evaporates into a different rush as you sing:

We. may never pass this way again.

Makes no difference where I live. I can leave tow hours early, but once I hit that Interstate I’m going no where , fast. Infrastructure has not kept up with growth in my area.

Reminds me of that song. “Some beach. Somewhere”

Apparently, right around the time stimulus checks start coming and unemployment gets extended.
