The Redundancy Slayer is on Alert!

Jumps to attention, red pen in hand, ready for slayage!

If it makes you feel any better, my husband had to read for a *graduate class* a book which declaimed at length that "efficient time management consists of a) knowing what time is and b) managing it efficiently." (I only wish I were kidding, or at least exaggerating. I read the chapter myself, six times, hoping something would change.)

As opposed to a food additive smeared in the hair?

Thank you! I think that took care of it.

*chortle*

Now I am wondering if my problem is not, as I had always assumed, that I don't manage time efficiently, but that in fact I don't know what it is. How do you suppose one would find out?

New formulation! Gives body, bounce, shine, and that new-baked scent!

...yeah, I got nothing.

Not, it would appear, by reading this book - never has the relativity of time been so obvious.

I don't think it helped that I hopped around in the background while he read the rest of it, pointing out that he'd be using his time more efficiently to clip his toenails or contemplate bellybutton lint. :)

It's all explained here (http://postcardsfromthezone.blogspot.com/2006/01/138-matter-of-minutes.html).

Time is a series of boxcars, each containing one minute of time. Men in blue overalls build everything in the universe in a boxcar, then move on to the next. If you go to pick up your keys and can't find them where you're sure you left them, then a minute later, they've mysteriously turned up, it's because the men in blue overalls forgot to put them in that boxcar of time.

...huh.

Well, that explanation certainly hadn't occurred to me, although now that you mention it it makes a scary amount of sense.
