I have found showing up early usually gets me in early.

I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve been in this scenario:

10:01
“Hi, I have an appointment at 10:30.”

“It’s not 10:30 yet.”

“That’s okay, I’ll wait.”

10:07
“Sir? They can see you now.”

Whomever I’m meeting, especially their secretaries, are usually put off that I show up early. But once they realize I’m not leaving, they do the math in their heads and realize they should just take me early so I’ll leave early. Win-win for everyone.

Seems I must be receiving comments from a parallel reality where doctors are capable of being on time for anything. Must be nice.
