One of the things that I have definitely gotten from my father is punctuality. I am rarely late, which can lead to a fair amount of frustration because other people are. It's actually gotten to the point where I now try to be late. I am amazed that others can do it so easily. It's such a conscious effort for me. I have to willfully find some little project to do that will take up too much time and make me a little late (reading a chapter of a book, washing the dishes, alphabetizing my socks), but some part of my inner-clock keeps ticking away and I end up on time anyway.
