Time- Space Continuum Paradox

I live in my own special time-space continuum.
I do not necessarily operate within the normal constraints of time or space. Inside my head.
As far as reality goes, I'm forced to operate within the same dimensional confines as the rest of the world.

Follow me? No?
Let's take a look at today as an example.
I had a hair apointment today. At 4:30.
I had study group until 3:45. And you know that always ends on time...
So, in 30 minutes, I had to go pick up The Dog at the groomer, take her to The Parents, and then head to the hair salon. I totally thought I could do it. You know, like totally.

Only, here's the paradoxical part:
I h.a.t.e. being late. Can't bear it. Cannot bear the thought of it. I have such a calm demeaner, unless it comes to being late, in which I start to hyperventilate. I keep trying to think of ways to make up time, shortcuts to take, and what I'm going to say.

Typically, I'll cut out some of the errands that I thought I could get done, leaving me arriving at my destination about 15-20 minutes early. Time-space continuum. Paradox.

I am very excited about my Christmas present from The Uncle. I didn't act like it when I opened it, because I didn't know just how awesome this gift was. A Garmin!

Now, I know where everything is around here, and know back roads to get there.
But my Garmin...it tells me the speed limit of the road I'm on and the speed I'm going.
And the best part: it tells me what time I'll get there. It's freakishly accurate.
The part of me that must be on time jumps with joy.

So today, even though I knew where I was going, I still pulled out my BFF the Garmin:

So, I got the dog, got her to The Parents, and headed out to the hairstylist. As you can see above, I was only going to be about three minutes late. I had to go to the ATM, so I was actually five minutes late.

Even though it was only five minutes, I still rushed in apologetically.

I said "I'm so sorry I'm five minutes late! I had to run an errand and go to the ATM! I'm so sorry!"
She said "That's okay. Your appointment was on Tuesday."
