[{"role": "system", "content": "Tardiness is the habit of being late or delaying arrival. Being late as a form of misconduct may be formally punishable in various arrangements, such as workplace, school, etc. An opposite personality trait is punctuality. Workplace tardiness is one of attendance issues, along with the absence from work and failure to properly notify about absence or being late. To be at work on time is an implied obligation unless stated otherwise. It is a legal reason for discharge in cases when it is a demonstrable disregard of duty: repeated tardiness without compelling reasons, tardiness associated with other misconduct, and single inexcusable tardiness resulted in grave loss of employer's interests. If tardiness is minor or without interference with employer's operations, it is not to be legally considered as misconduct. Diana DeLonzor in her book \"Never Be Late Again: 7 Cures for the Punctually Challenged\" classified habitually tardy people into 7 categories:  There are several stereotypes which associate tardiness with certain categories of people. African time is the perceived cultural tendency toward a more relaxed attitude to time among Africans both in Africa and abroad. This is generally used in a pejorative and racist sense about tardiness in appointments, meetings, and events, but also includes the more leisurely, relaxed, and less rigorously-scheduled lifestyle found in African countries, especially as opposed to the more clock-bound pace of daily life in Western countries.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I find myself always being tardy.
