Be Late for Something Day

Punctuality is in fashion these days, but there are situations that make it impossible to arrive at your destination on time September 5 is the day when those who are late have a fairly adequate argument for their absence at the designated time, because it is on the fifth day of autumn that humanity celebrates the Day of Lateness There are definitely events for which you shouldn’t stay late even on the Day of Delay, for example, the departure of a train or plane, a visit to the doctor or an appointment at government agencies It is generally accepted that Late Day was added to the list of national holidays by members of the Procrastinators Club of the United States in 1956 For a long time, the holiday remained purely American, but the modern world is full of opportunities, and with the help of the World Wide Web, other inhabitants of the planet learned about this day Finally, the girls, who were used to leisurely getting ready for a date, found a completely official reason to make their gentleman wait In some countries, being late for a meeting is considered quite acceptable For example, in Canada, if a person arrives before the designated time, this is considered “bad form” In China, a delay of 10 minutes is not considered late, but in Japan, arriving even 1 minute late can offend the person waiting In Malaysia they warn about being late, but a delay of 5 minutes is equivalent to one hour and this event is not surprising for residents of this state In South Korea, citizens are very punctual and being late is considered disrespectful A busy work schedule and the “running” rhythm of a big city exhaust citizens to this day On September 5th, every American resident can afford to get enough sleep, set the alarm clock 10 minutes later, leisurely drink a cup of coffee and calmly go to work Being late on this day in the United States is considered the norm and no employer has the right to make claims against his subordinates This unofficial holiday gives citizens the opportunity to slow down and look around Often our whole life passes in a hurry and, looking back, many come to the conclusion that there was no need to rush at all On September 5, don’t be afraid to deviate from your usual schedule and allow yourself to be late for some meeting Again, you should first make sure that your lateness will not entail negative consequences Being late to work can result in a reprimand or an unpleasant conversation with your boss, but arriving at a party on time is unlikely to result in trouble Not all residents of our country know about this holiday If you still decide to stick to tradition on this day and be late for work, it is better to notify management about this in advance to avoid an awkward situation There are also opposite situations when you are waiting for someone who is late The waiting time often drags on Looking at the clock, it seems to us that the minutes seem to have stopped We offer you several options for spending your time:• clear your phone of unnecessary information;• call relatives or a long-forgotten friend;• finish reading a book;• for students, this time can be used usefully, for example, repeating the material they have covered or learning new ones At the end of the day, it would be a great idea to invite friends over for a visit or a walk in the park In general, here you need to turn on your imagination and enjoy every moment you live Take your time, try to bring joy into every minute, let your life be filled with bright colors
