The Importance of Timing in Rituals

This morning my mistress instructed me on the Importance of Timing when working one’s Magical Rituals.  So, what I do not understand is how a witch, as powerful and wise as she, can have such rotten timing in her daily rituals?

Case in point:  Each morning, she goes out and lures all the neighborhood birds down with food.  However, she never remembers to let me out until AFTER they are through eating and every last one has flown off!  Her timing is all wrong because, of course by then, it’s too late.  I don’t wish to be critical, but if only she wasn’t quite so absent minded.
