A short story about punctuality.

I had walked around the block 10 times already.

I showed up to the meeting 20 minutes early and I didn’t want to look like a fool sitting in a conference room by myself so I started walking around the block.

I look way more important moving than sitting.

Everyone who sees me is probably thinking about what kind of meeting I must be going to. I am walking around this block with such purpose after all.

“Chest out, head high, he’s going to kill it.” The lady sitting on the stoop is probably thinking.

I am going to kill it.

The meeting started five minutes ago but I am in the zone right now. One more lap around the block and I’ll be ready.

Ready to kill it.
