Napoleon and order...

“Order marches with weighty and measured strides. Disorder is always in a hurry.” – Napoleon Bonaparte
This is a good quote by Napoleon, and I believe the second half is true for me! I, the epitome of disorder, am always in a hurry. I can’t help it, I’m just like that. I’ll aim to leave home say, at a certain time, and find that I am rushing like mad five minutes before. I just don’t get what it is? I don’t waste time in front of the mirror, (people who have met me will immediately realise this) I don’t stall eating breakfast – in fact I allow myself about 7 minutes. My family think it’s because I just don’t give myself enough time to start with, I just want that extra 15 minutes of sleep I sorely deserve!
So readers, are you the quintessential orderly person? Marching ‘with weighty and measured strides’? Or, like most of us, are you a disorderly system of chaos who gets most of their exercise from running for the train?
