All this time…

Wasted.

I’ll give the preemptive warning now: this is probably going to be all over the map. ๐Ÿ˜„

I don’t know if it’s this roller coaster I am on lately or what, but I feel like I am all over the freaking map where time is concerned. In theory, I should, and do, have way more time than I did working my previous job.

But no matter what, I cannot, for the life of me, get a handle on time right now at all. It feels like it’s flying by at a breakneck pace one minute, and dragging total ass the next, usually when I am at work.

Yeah, I know, I know…everyone feels that way, right?

Maybe, but this is different for me. This isn’t that usual feeling we all get at times.

This is to the point that I am forgetting shit, rushing to get caught up, and generally feeling pissed off. Usually multiple times per day.

I’m the proverbial chicken separated from his head.

It makes it really tough to want or have decent interactions with anyone.

My default setting has been “get out of my effing face” for a bit now, and I don’t like that. Well, in most cases, at least.

Full disclosure: There are other reasons I have that mentality at the moment, but this constant “behind the eight ball” feeling definitely isn’t helping matters.

I keep having this odd feeling that everyone in my life wants me to explain or justify myself, and quite frankly, no.

No.

No, I don’t want to explain why I do what I do, when I do it, or where my mindset is at the moment.

But combining that feeling with this absolute disarray concerning time is more than a bit agitating.

I mean, I’m fine, but I’m not, you know? ๐Ÿ˜„

Anyhow, I’m just chalking it up to part of this adjustment period, off kilter sleep and a few other factors.

Doesn’t mean I can’t be annoyed about it in the interim though.

I really need to get to work on that whole “Master of Time, Space and Reality” thing.

  1. Hopefully things will settle down for you in the next few weeks.

    I am on second week in new additional cleaning job. It’s only an extra 4 hours a week which I split over 2 days and I am like, where has the time gone?

  5. Is frustration running in the family again?! It has been a week since I have had this feeling of utter annoyance while doing anything related to my job but can’t help loving sitting idle there too.
    Hope you sought out your mental turmoil and find the necessary relief that you are searching for. Much love and good wishes brother ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ’•

      1. Most of the world is upside down right now Kev, remember with new change usually comes a 90 day adjustment period to find the new groove!!

        I told my fam a long time ago, ” Look over there, see it? That the place where you can Fack off with those thoughts of me!”

  7. Kev, justification of your thoughts or actions should only be asked and answered by and to yourself. Keep heading forward and soon this problem will be just a memory of growth.

  8. “Iโ€™m fine, but Iโ€™m not, you know? ” – Felt this so much, because, yes! I understand that feeling and have those moments and I also don’t really want to share at this time. For me that translates to, yes, I am functional and going through the daily motions appearing to present myself ok, but, if you dig deep, need time to process things, heal and just be. I somewhat – not fully – get it. Sending you all the positive energy and light while you go through it.

  11. You might want to process some things with a therapist.
    Most are good listeners and give feedback.

    That was part of the job I liked.

    Goodness, I haven’t listened to Time in a million years. Thank you for that. Just gorgeous.

    Nice when time is a friend, when we feel lined up with our expectations of ourselves and the resources available. I said something to my therapist a few weeks ago, about definitely having ‘enough’ time, and that not being an issue with for instance, getting more exercise, yet perception of time time is so entangled with mental and physical energies. I’m sure new rhythms are bringing big adjustments, also to simply letting changes sink in.
