I love how unbelievably inefficient the working world is. I’d take a gander to guess that the highest percent-time-working for a given individual is at most (and I mean most) 10-50%.
It starts off with the “I’m still waking up” lethargy, which gets shaken off just in time for the “mid-morning slump” to set in. After that, a small amount of energy is generated at the prospect of lunch, however, this is usually focused into non-work related activities, so that by the time lunch rolls around, you’ve still accomplished nothing. Then there’s “lunch time”. Ohhhh lunch. The worst excuse for a food-break that has ever existed. And there’s the people who insist on taking an hour lunch every day, not counting the time it takes to get wherever their going and back, only to come back and slump again after stuffing themselves of processed meats and pickled melons. This “post-lunch stupor” is briefly interrupted by a few fleeting moments of work, which in turn fall prey to the “2:30 siesta”. This lasts until the Twilight Zone of 4:00-6:00 wherein time somehow blends and becomes one, allowing people to leave whenever they want, and still call it 6:00 PM (theories of relativity can’t explain it).
All in all, it boggles the mind how anyone (much less anyone who has ever worked) could wonder why America’s economy is shot to shit. Way to go Baby Boomers, way to go.
