  was happy to see another perspective of a theme I often consider. time is short enough, why should the workplace get it all? On the other hand, I piss away so much time between watching the kids and watching daytime TV, and when I do get some scheduled time for me (read: John or Yolanda come so I can go write), my mind is so numbed from pissing away all that time that I'm hardly struck by the muse. Back in the office days, I liked pissing away time best of all. I'd finish a project super quick so I could go gossip over someone's celeb 'zine. Now that I'm doing this work-at-home mom thing, I'm sick of pissing away time. I need to use my time much more wisely.
That's my May Day resolution. Go make your own. urlLink Nyarlathotep's Miscellany : "I have a tendency to think of any time that is not absolutely committed to sleep or a wage-paying job as time that I should probably be scheduling for something, perhaps for making some more money from something like tutoring so I can, like, pay off my credit card debt before I hit the retirement home.
This is in fact the American Way, as far as I can tell: jobs just keep expanding and expanding until now, a lot of people don't find a 60-hour workweek to be that shocking, although they should, and there's this pressure to use time, to be doing something with it -- I mean, think of women's magazines, and all the stuff they're always encouraging us to do in those fifteen minutes of unscheduled time.
