I am waiting for Marco to arrive. He told me he was coming at 'around' 9am. It is 9:30. This is one of the things I love about Leticia. If she is late, she calls; is she cannot come, she calls. Nowadays, even babies are given cellphones instead of pacifiers. Everyone has one. I see people in the Metro talking for hours (I always wonder where do they get the money to do it), I hate the many people that talk while driving. Nevertheless, there are few people who use it to excuse themselves for being late or to announce that they are not coming. Last Saturday, a gardener was coming. He never showed up. Yet he has a cellphone. Yesterday, Marco called me and told me that he could help me today as he had a free day. (Mind you, I pay him and not little for what he does). He told me that he would arrive more than half an hour ago. And I did not make a coffee because I was preparing other things for his arrival. I´ll go for coffee then. See you friends. Love you You are there.

This is what I appreciate about Swiss, they are punctual, they are precise. I cannot stand to wait for people for hours.

I have some punctual friends. But workers are never on time.

Thank you. I feel cheated when people are too late. I still have to pay them.

With the convenience of cellphones there really is no excuse for not calling when arriving late. Hope Marco arrives shortly and definitely enjoy your coffee

He did. And he is working. But I hated him for a while at first.

It is truly polite for one to call when they don't make it or if they will be late. Enjoy your coffee.
