Punctuality is a trait that is not very glamourous or recognizable by normal people.

Unless you arrive at the agreed-upon destination at the exact time you were told to, and you were seen just moments before to have saved a young boy/stray dog from getting steamrolled by a bicycle, and you also offer hot delicious doughnuts to your awaiting colleagues afterwards, they are not really going to congratulate or even acknowledge your dependable approach.

It's a shame, really, because I think conscientious time disembarkers are really great.
