Trying to be early to office.

Of all the significant things that determine your working style in office, this is the most important aspect and has tremendous impact on the way your subordinates work. However, in spite of being simple thing with great positive results assured (as it doesn't need any special resources, sanctions, approvals, paper work...) this is the most difficult to follow..

On my first day in office, my D.C sir told me that he is very particular about punctuality. If he says 10:00, it means sharp 10:00 with no variations. I said 'Yes Sir'. I followed it strictly for first 2 weeks. I used to get ready by 9:00, spend time till 10:00 somehow and go to office by sharp 10:00. But there used to be very few staff at that times. Sometimes, even D.C sir would not be present.. This made be slacken a bit.. Next week I started reaching office by 10:10.. Slowly even that started extending, no one was questioning, I became more relaxed..

Suddenly one day D.C sir asked 'Why are you coming late to office?' At 10:00, your vehicle is still at your home? I said ' Iam sorry sir, I wont repeat it'. Then again I followed timing for 2 days. Again, things changed in matter of days n I started going really late. So far, the latest time is 10:20.

One day, some issue happened and he scolded me saying ' Dont take things casually!!' in a very hoarse voice. I felt like crying. I thought I should never go late again. I followed it one day and today Im again late!!!

How shameless.. I feel really bad about myself.. I wanna be on time from tomorrow. I dont know what I should do. How I can be on time everyday, not just when I get dose from my boss!
