YOU SCHEDULE A MEETING
             For 3:00pm. You think it’s a precise time and expect the meeting
                                  to occur at that time.

Tuesday, May 18, 2010
UNCERTAINTY ENSUES
                 But really you get a 2:45 to 3:30 window of uncertainty. They
                        could show up at any time within this window!

Tuesday, May 18, 2010
WHEN WILL THEY SHOW UP?
                             There is no real way to know.
                                   FRUSTRATING!!!

CO-LOCATION NEGOTIATON

                    “On my way!” (What
                    does that mean??)

                    “Almost there”

                    “Stuck in traffic, will be
                    15 minute late”

                    “Running late. 5 more
                    minutes”

                    “Here! Where are you?”
