Clock-Watcher

I have willingly named myself a clock-watcher. 

A generation ago, and maybe even more recently, this would be a very negative declaration.  A person who repeatedly looks to see what time it is, is probably not doing it to be positive.  It implies lack of interest and maybe “a desire to stop work as soon as the clock strikes a designated time”.

But I say we need more clock-watchers.  With the plethora of onscreen meetings, I think others may actually appreciate it.

Because when meetings or seminars or training sessions run beyond the designated finish time, that’s not positive either.
