Not Enough Time in the Day

Scientists tell us that the standard Earth day is getting longer.
Why only a few (900) million years ago, we completed a full rotation in only 18 hours.

Today, it takes around 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 or so seconds.
***************
Although I have done this before, it has been a while, so I decided to refresh my memory and break down my day into its "duty" alotments. (And I have found that there is "alot" to be desired...)

Assuming those extra 3 minutes...

24 hours in a day.

Minus the recomended, but seldom achieved, 8 hours and 30 minutes of sleep leaves =

15 hours and 30 minutes.

Now subtract the 8 hours, plus 30 minutes lunch, we give to the Man =

Leaves 7 hours.

But we forgot to take out the commute time it takes to get to work for the Man,
for which we are NOT compensated,
being optimistic (for Dallas traffic)
45 minutes in the morning and
45 minutes for the evening commute leaves =

5 hours and 30 minutes...

Now take out the time it takes in the morning to get ready to work for the Man and that leaves

4 hours and 45 minutes in a day to:

Decompress (usually involving the TV.)

Eat dinner.

Shop for groceries.

Do house hold Chores.

Laundry.

Spend time with family.

Blog???

If you're single, date.

*No wonder we only have sex on Sundays...*

Leaving us maybe an hour a day to read or study for tomorrow's day with the Man...

And he wants us to put in OVER TIME?!

I sure could use those extra 3 minutes and 56 seconds...
