Boo for Work!

After three very quick days off work, I'm back to Meijer tomorrow... ugh...

Which brings me to a good point. I'm fascinated by time and the human mind. The movement, the flow, the experience of time, and how it affects and is affected by the human mind just boggles me.

How can three wonderful days off work seemingly pass so quickly, yet three days of work will take me ages to slog through? I'm sure many people would reply with "it's a fun factor thing" - in other words, that which we enjoy the most, we can never get enough of, and that which we are annoyed by (Meijer!), will slow us down.

Dreams are an intermediate step - what seems to last for days in a fantasy world may only be a few minutes, meaning that time is something that is merely perceived. Time only passes as quickly as the human brain processes it.

To that end, I suggest that control of time - or control of the mind's perception of time - is one key to making my day-to-day experiences more enjoyable. What if eight hours at Meijer seemed like a few moments of my day gone by, and the remaining seven waking hours of my day seemed like an entire weekend?

This concept and possibility intrigues me in ways that I can't begin to explain. I plan to study this further, and I'll share with you my results.
