Working. Since retirement, one day seems as long or as short as the next.

hi bijouxbroussard
so did working might time seem to go faster or slower?
I think there is a paradox at play whereby we are bored and time goes slowly but years of boredom seem over in a flash as we have no reference points within them of anything happening.

@sogdianrock Much like school, the work week took forever while weekends (and vacations) seemed to fly by.

Yes. It is interesting isn't it.
Stress maybe plays a part also? Someone on SW posted a question about how a week was a long time when she had no mobile phone.
