one week

amazing how long and how short one week can be. there were moments this week where i thought they would go on forever as i wrestled stats and admin duties, see achilles heel. the problem is of course the tasks seemed to last for eternity and yet the week was over in a blink of an eye.

as we grow older the years get shorter it seems, with time flying by so quickly moments are there and then gone. what is it about being a kid that made time slower and savoured more?

i'm older and tired and missing moments i shouldn't. having recently worked with people from africa i envy their approach to time. it will happen when its time and there is no need to rush. australians do not cope so well with this concept anymore, though i think we used to. we are too cultured and trained now to even consider being late. here's the thing though even those of us who are 'late' still miss the african time boat. you can't be late in africa...you are just there when you arrive

i want me week back to do over

albert einstein supposedly explained his theory of relativity at a conference for some of the greatest minds of his era like this...

(forgive my paraphrasing)

time is relative my friends i can prove it.

a minute with your hand on a hot plate seems like an hour

an hour of conversation with a hot woman seems like a minute

if time is relative i wonder why it accelerates with age.

i wonder why i am writing a blog at 10pm at night as exhausted as i am.

i'm wondering why it is i can't sleep... i should be asleep
