Sorry I’m Late

Oh really?
Would you like some kind of special recognition? Allow someone to clue you in (because obviously you don’t have a clue), you’re simply not that important!
That’s right! If you noticed, as you strolled into the meeting, we’d already begun without you… so, no, we didn’t need your presence in order to start this meeting.
Now that you’re here – do the newcomer a huge favor, okay? Don’t shuffle your chair around or whisper to your buddy. The readings are being read and the newcomer is trying to listen. You wouldn’t want the newcomer to miss something that might help them stay sober today on your sorry account, would you?
And you want respect…
I think saying “sorry I’m late” is one of the most egocentric things… as if anyone cares if they can’t make it to a meeting on time!
Yep! Would be better if they just ambled in quietly, sat down and shut up rather than attempt to make some kind of statement.
Worse yet? Then they ask what the topic is and share!!!
