An Application for Longer Days...

It's a damn shame when you wake up in the morning and you immediately feel as if there aren't enough hours in the day to get done the things that you'd like to accomplish. So, this afternoon, I'm filling out a petition for longer days.  I'm starting a signature drive to raise the number of hours in the day from 24 to 36. I know that this will probably mess with some folks' sleeping patterns, and business hours will definately have to shift...plus dealing with an extra sunrise or sunset (depending on how the new day is structured) could have devastating effects on some island cultures in the South Pacific, and it is definately going to make celebrating Ramadan a little awkward with knowing when it's ok to eat and all, but other than some very minor glitches, I think it will work out better for everyone.

Really, I mean who couldn't use an extra 12 hours ofproductivity in their life. Think of everything that we could get done. Plus...that's more hours of party time at the end of the day to celebrate a job well done. It's a brilliant plan and one that will probably earn me a Nobel Prize...maybe in Physics since I'd probably have to arrange some sort of mathematical theorem to justify using the term "day" to refer to a 36 hour period or I'll just have to figure out a way to slow down the Earth's rotation...either way...I'm all over it.

Currently, even with the consulting projects I've got going on, I don't really have to be up at a certain time during the week (the weekends are a different story...I have to be up to greet the sunlight and to get to work by 7:30am). So, I've been trying to let myself wake up naturally and then use what time I have between when I wake up and when I have to be at my temp gig to get done all the other projects I have up my sleeves. I slept until 9:45 this morning, and now I'm freaking out because I'm not going to get done all of that which I laid up in my head to get done. Perhaps it is just a problem of expectation and pyschology...but either way...it's pissing me off.

So, starting tomorrow I'm setting my alarm. I'm going to make myself rise by 8am...at least until I can figure out how to get six linked nuclear reactors and a seventeen ton slinky, which are key components in getting us all to that 36 day heaven.
