December: when all the deadlines for end of month, end of quarter, and end of year conspire against you with holidays and unspent PTO -- just in time to prepare for the retrospective reports in January.
June was pretty long too.
Sorry, I feel the opposite. With each day bringing ever more absurd crap & destruction from this admin, waiting for the time for this all to be over with has slowed down and stretched out (like a horror movie hallway) to the point of feeling like this shit will never end.
The only way to make that graph make sense to me is if you added a toilet to the bottom.
Here sunlight disappears from november to february, so winter feels loooooog and summer goes by so fast that you don't even notice it.
I have the same feeling.😃
January feels extra long since I do a traditional sober January. Something about not permitting yourself even a drop makes the time crawl in a way that just not getting drunk doesn't do.
I guess part of it is that counting days just makes you more aware of each passing day. Years I've done a sober January without counting days have gone quicker.
This is how our brains age. Each year feels shorter than the last as our brains slow down. When you were a little kid the summer was forever, right? For the elderly, the years blink by. The perceptual midpoint of an average life is about 23.
Guys, which month do you have the strongest appetite?
