Call it the Midwesterner in me, but when I go to a business meeting, I consider being on time as "late". I pretty much arrive 15 minutes early to everything. The other day I arrived at a meeting in Oklahoma. I was early (shocker) and was asked to wait as the Director was finishing some things up and would be with me shortly. The planned meeting time came and went and then it was 20 minutes past the hour. One of the staff members came out to see if I wanted coffee as it might be another 10-15 minutes. I asked if the Director was going to be much longer in her other meeting and the staff member said, "oh, she's not in a meeting, she's playing Candy Crush". WHAT???? I'm waiting in a lobby for 30 minutes past our meeting time so she can play a GAME??!!!I play Candy Crush on occasion and I admit, its a fun brain-teaser. The game keeps me coming back when I have another set of 5 lives. But really....addicted???? There is more to life than fixating on a little screen to clear a bunch of jellies. Should I get to the place where I am building my schedule around the next life I am given it will be time to delete the game, admit that I have a problem, and find a 12-Step program for Candy Crushers...oh, and apologize to everyone in my life that I have brushed off so that I could play a game for hours on end. HELL-OO! Wake up call! You can do it....just walk away.
