I came upon this message board tonight after losing yet another job to my lateness. I am very distressed by this primarily as I am the single mother of a child and am also chronically in debt. I am jeopardizing her welfare and this is not something I want to nor nor am I proud of. It is also humiliating and frustrating to myself and others that I cannot get to work on time no matter what shift. I had quit smoking 6 months ago and now have also readdicted myself when this happened. This lateness has been going on all my life and I am beginning to believe it is a form of narcissim( sp?) in that I have always semed to feel that MY tardiness should be overlooked because I am such a good worker once I get there. I have struggled at different times in my life with alcohol issues,co- dependancy issues, and I tend to think that this lateness thing is a form of addiction as well. It also appears at times to be a maturity issue. If you have gained any insights or made any progress with your owm lateness, I would really appreciate any help. I am scared of losing another job( if I even find one). Thanks
Vickie
