Time Blindness?

 I sat and watched a video where a young lady (I'd suggest she was 20)....confessed that she had something called “time blindness” which meant she was continually late to work.

At first, I thought she was just 100-percent bluffing.  Well....no, she indicated that she had a problem and the boss let her go because of the continuing trend of being late.

At my first job in the Air Force....the boss  (Sarge) let it be known....work started at 7:30 AM, and you could be two minutes late without a harsh reaction.  Beyond 5 minutes late....Sarge would let you get the full 'dump'.  Anything beyond 15 minutes late...had better have a good explanation....like a car accident or snowfall.

I started to notice with airmen after 2000....this lateness thing was becoming a big issue.  This often went hand-in-hand with people who refused to wear a watch.  For these people....time didn't matter.
