My life would be so much easier if I could master one, single, tiny little skill. Just one. You know what that skill would be:
Time Estimation
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, if I could merely come within 2 hours of the amount of time it is going to take me to complete a task, when I estimate how long it will take me, that would be a great and good thing. That would be a wonderful and blessed thing. That would be a skill that would vastly improve my life.
For the last time (again) I am not a superhero, and I cannot do 12 hours worth of work in 2 hours.
No one can.
The laws of time and space simply won’t play that way.
It. Cannot. Be. Done.
Now, if you will excuse me, I am going to put on my running tights, tie a towel around my neck and darn well hope for the best.
When I get a moment, I will come up with my own superhero name.
Captain Idiot might be a start.
Just start adding 12 hours to all of your estimates! That would help…
Get yourself some play silks. I have discovered that they make wonderful superhero capes. The silk has a much better flow to it than a towel, it makes it look fancier when you run around the room.
Ha, ha, yes, when you learn this time compression thingie please share w/us mere mortals.
You need a time turner like Hermione had in Harry Potter.
take your best guess, multiply by 5 and add 10% ……. gives you….. hmmm 12 hours!
yeah… go super????? NEW JOB Woman
Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s…er…time, and it’s a-flying. Once you get the cape issue all sorted out, and the proper tights, and the proper shoes, and goodness knows if you are going to wear your underwear on the outside of those tights, let’s go with something from Victoria’s Secret or the like. Once you get all those things sorted out, well, then you’ll be able to soar off up into the stratosphere and catch your arch-nemesis, that evil villain, Time.
It may not be possible to actually do 12 hours worth of work in two hours, but there ARE times when, after two hours, I feel like I’ve put in 12 hours worth already. I also feel like I should get paid based on how hard I’ve worked and not necessarily by what the clock says.
I think Jen’s silks would make a wonderful superhero costume. Especially since I’ve outgrown my Wonder Woman Under Roos.
