I need to remember not everyone shows up an hour early....

From:

Waaaaay back in the mists of time I was in the Canadian Forces Officer Candidate School (at the time in CFB Chilliwack, although it's been moved to St Jean since then). On our first or second day we were told that 'on time' meant being 5 minutes early.

We were then warned about the tendency of stressed Officer Cadets to arrange to be 5 minutes early to be 5 minutes early to be 5 minutes early...

Try showing up no earlier than whoever carries the keys.
