Me: Oh December! The year is finally winding down-
Work: (DOOM music intensifies)December: when all the deadlines for end of month, end of quarter, and end of year conspire against you with holidays and unspent PTO – just in time to prepare for the retrospective reports in January.
June was pretty long too.
Sorry, I feel the opposite. With each day bringing ever more absurd crap & destruction from this admin, waiting for the time for this all to be over with has slowed down and stretched out (like a horror movie hallway) to the point of feeling like this shit will never end.
The only way to make that graph make sense to me is if you added a toilet to the bottom.
Here sunlight disappears from november to february, so winter feels loooooog and summer goes by so fast that you don’t even notice it.
I have the same feeling.😃
This is how our brains age. Each year feels shorter than the last as our brains slow down. When you were a little kid the summer was forever, right? For the elderly, the years blink by. The perceptual midpoint of an average life is about 23.
January feels extra long since I do a traditional sober January. Something about not permitting yourself even a drop makes the time crawl in a way that just not getting drunk doesn’t do.
I guess part of it is that counting days just makes you more aware of each passing day. Years I’ve done a sober January without counting days have gone quicker.
Guys, which month do you have the strongest appetite?
