TIME

i’ve noticed an odd phenomenon. it seems that time “feels” like it’s moving quicker or slower at times. i’m sure everyone’s noticed this. you know the feeling: “god, this week is dragging” – or –“ man, this week has just flown by. “

the weird thing is that the people around me seem to be experiencing that same fast- or slow-week “thing.” i don’t know if it’s just the people “around” me, you know, like the people i work with or my family. is it like that thing that happens where women who work together start to have their menstrual cycles aligned? or is bigger than that?

so here’s my very unscientific poll: how has this week “felt” to you. i woke up this morning thinking it was the weekend, that i could sleep in. these past couple of days have felt like an entire week already.

On Tuesday I thought it was Thursday and took the trash down to the curb. Now I'm thinking HOLY FUCK I WISH IT WERE TUESDAY! I still have a lot to get done this week.

That probably wasn't a helpful answer was it?

kath: you "felt" like it was thursday, and now you "wish" it was tuesday. pretty clear to me that time was dragging, and so were you. i agree that just because time seems to move slower, i don't seem to get more done. blech.

I notice this all the time, too. This week is flying by for me--boss is out of the office so I've been goofing off. Eeek, he'll be back soon! Have to get some work done!

It goes in spurts. Mornings fly.. afternoons drags its ass to the point my eyes want to shut. Although I do perk up as soon as I leave. School's OUT!

It dragged initially but today it was sheer hell at work and before I knew it, it was way past going home time I did not even realise it.

The week has flown by. I can't believe it's almost Friday. However, I've identified two possible reasons. One: I'm 450 miles from Avon Lake and therefore not affected by your dragging week. Two: I've been eagerly anticipating the start of my fraternity's Drink of the Day Club. Three trips to the package store in two days! You know what they say, time flies when your having fun.
