She better have a damn good reason..
... being a ½ late for her speech.
I used to work for a guy who habitually was late for everything. It was intentional. It was his way of saying “I’m much too busy with important stuff to be on time†and “You are less important than I am even the sum of you waiting in the meeting room are less important than I amâ€.
She better have a *very* good reason for making the entire damn country sit in the meeting room waiting for her. Something like – death.
