I'm late for everything.
Chronic lateness is a symptom of dyscalculia. Marilyn had it written into her contract. Did you master speech at an unusually early age?

funnily enough, yeah
i could talk in sentences and practically read before i could walk.

32 years later, i still talk too much and don't move unless i have to...

I'm pathologically punctual - I hate being late, I keep thinking I'll miss something.
But I don't mind other people being late, which is apparently unusual.

Snap!
If we'd been born later we'd have had government grants and points added to our degrees by now. Google 'dyscalculia checklist'. It was a while ago but I did it and scored high. I showed it to my boss and asked if it afforded me late starts every day. She said "No, Roota, because I'm a hypochondriac too and I haven't found an illness that works for me, so why should you?" Oh how we lol'd.

omg
that would explain sooooo much. eg why i am doing a masters at oxford in english but got lost driving back to london and spent about 20 minutes trying to work out how long it would take me to drive 15 miles at 90mph (i reeeeally needed the ladies).

my boss would, however, react exactly as yours did!
