    That's what I've nearly always thought - but the trades around here
    seem to have a different definition.

    To be sure you spend the entire day waiting for a 9:00 am appointment
    only to learn that they have to reschedule... so you can waste another
    day waiting for someone who doesn't show up.

    I am impressed! Only one sentence. Maybe there's hope for you after all.

    "Time is what you have so everything doesn't happen all at once."
    From the movie Late for Dinner.

    I agree with that, and I allege that it also applies to appointments.
    (I would claim that allegation as original, but it's uniquely possible
    that it's from some movie, too)

    In any case, in my case, that's what's been happening. It's not that
    the other party fails to show up, but that they show up hours - or
    even days - early at inopportune times. And that has caused several incompatible things to happen at once. Fortunately for me, recent
    instances of appointment-keeping failure have resulted in
    inconvenience for the other party rather than my own literally strict
    and reliable appointment-keeping self.

    So that the party of the first part agrees to be at specified place at a specified time to meet with the Party of the second part. Failure to do so will result in no punishment (either physical, emotional, or financial) whatsoever.

    So...well....look....sometimes it nevertheless literally, like, does
    or should. When everything is on the table, the passage of time is,
    like, significant, you know? And it's particularly significant at the
    end of the day going forward when everything happens not so
    infrequently at the same time.
