[quote=Anonymous]In the DC area, I'm sure we've all had times when we're all set to get somewhere on time, or even early, and then get stuck in a metro station for 20 minutes while the line gets working again. I'm normally home 10-15 minutes early, but once in a blue moon, end up < 10 minutes late after the ten hour mark, because of the metro - how do I make it up to the AP? Obviously, this should not be happening, at all. I know that, but in these two instances, I was already in the metro, getting out and taking a cab would have made me even more late, so I had to stay put at that point and just let AP know I was on my way. It's rare, but it's happened twice and I feel awful. It was less than 10 minutes each time. What can I do to make AP not feel taken advantage of? I don't want her to think that I don't respect her time. I could come up ten minutes early the following day, but she already gets off early all the other days anyway? Extra pay? A gift? Just make sure that the factors I do control, I'm responsible about? If there are any APs on here, what would you have wanted in this situation?[/quote]
