#alwaysontheclock

I spend a lot of time thinking about time. A lot. I often think that time and health are the two things that you can never get back. Until now, with all the medical advances and technological breakthroughs, they are still the only two pieces of this hodge podge existence that remain elusive to us, constantly running until one day one or both of them stop and thats it, your time is literally up.

Your health can be improved by a regime of diet and exercise and life choices, thats for sure and I guess if you spend time to become more efficient then you can save time in the future. Specifically in your work or the little rituals that you have in the morning, these things can all be sped up.

The point is though that both of these resources for lack of better words, are both finite. They can be prolonged but not replenished.

So in wondering about them so much I also wonder why some people waste so much time? I also wonder about how they can be "spent" or "wasted".

What is the major difference between them? Is everything a matter of perspective or can only time tell whether someone who was thought to be wasting their time eventually be found to have spent it really rather well?

I am as you can probably guess a little more interested in the clock than the average person in the street. My job is to be on the clock, there isnt really a punch in out time, I just am on the clock. "Week_END" as I only technically get one day off a week is never certain, working in events there is a high chance that I will be working that day at least partially, it is very difficult, on top of this, we work 10 hours a day, from 8-6.

So for me performing more efficiently in work and getting the job done faster is paramount to me actually getting time off in the first place. My boss or bosses as the case is, never hesitate to call me in to work or for that matter call me any time, there is nothing sacred and no time sacred, they really dont care.

The problem or maybe advantage, again this may be a time will tell scenario, is that it bleeds into the other aspects of my life, since my weekend is always so short I am obsessive about getting the most out of it, I wake up early, relatively I guess, its pretty much always before 9 anyways. Then I have to do laundry, get brekkie, I like to workout, thats occasionally not timed, if I feel that im having a really good workout I can drift off into the void and I just want that one more rep... The PR is so close feeling :)
