[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In 15 minutes one can come in, put away coat, throw in a load of laundry, and empty a dishwasher or make two sandwiches. It is not that hard. The laundry room isn't a half mile down the road. The dirty laundry is already sorted and waiting in laundry room.

It bothers me that she treats this as a flexible start time and leaves things for us to finish in the evening that could have been completed during work day if she arrived on time and pushed a start button on a machine. [/quote]

Yeah you COULD and if I were at my own house I MIGHT but I'm an office worker and if I had, say, a meeting start 15 min after my start time I would 90% of the time get nothing accomplished in that first window. So I can see why she doesn't feel the need to get there on time, it's not really enough time to transition into work mode, get some work done, then leave. (I'm the poster who said it's a weird schedule). The more I think about it the more I'm thinking you wouldn't be happy if she got there 1 min early every day because your expectations for using that first 15 min of a workday aren't reasonable.

Part of being on time is being ready to work, not taking 5-15 minutes to get into work mode.[/quote]
