Poll of the Day > I know I make some crazy ass topics sometimes but there's some shit...

(+) Yeah! (+)

Thats happening to me and I really need to talk about.

For a fucking week now Ill be at work. Look at the clock. For example, just now it read, 12:35pm. I spoke to the client for AT LEAST 5 minutes. Maybe more. I look again at the clock and it reads, 12:35pm.

The other day I saw I was 10 minutes away from going to lunch. Spoke to another client for 7min at least, and again was still at 10 minutes til
lunch.

Im also NOT high. I knew that question was coming.

@adjl
Am I going through fucking different dimensions or something?

@Yellow
Tagging you just in case theres a possibility theres a problem with my companys phones/computers, and you can tell us if youve seen something like this before.

Just one clock or all the clocks/computers and your phone. It's just your time perception altering. When I worked in the bank and lunch was close that last 5-10 minutes was torture and it felt like I was doing a million transactions without the time changing.

You arent really registering the time in your mind the first time you look at the clock. Just vaguely noticing it. Then when youre glancing at it later youre startled to see that its the same time as before when really you just had an ambiguous eh its about 12:35 in your head without realizing it.

Being startled about it cements in your mind that it really was 12:35 the first time you looked at it, but that isnt what you actually saw.

I love how a generation of people have become absolutely convinced that whenever their memory seems off, it can't possibly be them that's the problem, but the universe itself that has to be broken.

That's levels of narcissism even the 1980s couldn't compete with.

Before I even get started reading this, my rate is $42.00 per hour, just so youre aware.

Edit after reading: Maybe its a dyslexia thing.

Also, since time doesnt actually exist, and its just existence that does, it is perceived differently all the... time. If youre doing something boring, time will move slow. If youre sitting and playing a video game that youre really into, half-an-hour will go by like a couple of minutes.

You aren't paying as much attention as you think you are.

Pretty much. We naturally round time to nice, even breakpoints, often in the direction that we like best instead of what's actually closest (i.e. saying it's 10 minutes to lunch when it's actually 14, or that you have 15 minutes before you have to leave when it's actually 11). This typically happens without any sort of conscious input, and is usually more a matter of getting a vague sense of time than anything really concrete. Toss in potential discrepancies between different timepieces, and you've got a recipe for misremembering the initial time.

I love this post.

On a related note, George Carlin wrote this:

"Do you ever check the time and it doesn't register? So you have to check it again and it still doesn't sink in? So you have to check it a third time? And then someone asks you what time it is and even though you just looked, you have to check again? Don't you just feel like an idiot?"
