  • What the hell are you doing here?

  • I'm Angela Duckworth.

  • I'm Stephen Dubner, and you're listening to.

  • No stupid questions today on the show.

  • What does your level of punctuality say about you?

  • It's an early arriving arms race.

  • Also, what does your name say about your personal history?

  • Smith might have meant you came from a family of blacksmiths.

  • I'm married to a Duckworth.

  • Is that like duck farmers?

  • Angela, a listener named Kaylin has written with a question, and I cannot wait to see how you answer this question.

  • I cannot wait to see what Kaylin's question was.

  • It feels like a very angie question in that it seems like a problem you would not have.

  • Okay.

  • Kaylin writes to say hi.

  • NSQ.

  • I volunteer with a compost drop off program, and usually the hours are 08:00 a.m.

  • to twelve noon, but sometimes we extend to 01:00 p.m.

  • whether the drop off ends at noon or 01:00 p.m.

  • i've noticed that people, often the same ones, will come running at the very last minute to drop off.
