heh.. I don't know. I had the same issue with my pdoc. I arrive very early because I'm paranoid about being late. (And he was late every time too and didn't seem to mind making me wait).

Maybe something about having to pay $225/hour whether you show up on time or not has something to do with this behavior?? LOL... it's annoying, I agree.

btw, your T was joshing, no?
