Time blindness? You mean starting my weekend binge on Friday afternoon and suddenly it's Monday morning?

She doesn't know how to use the alarm function on her phone?

Yep. It's why I need time glasses. For my time blindness. I keep it in my time bag.

You wouldn't need glasses if you're blind

I'm not just blind. I'm time blind.

 

[AJUMP23]

I have not. Unfortunately I am keenly aware of wasting time.


People will say anything to make an excuse for being late.

Just a century ago people were struggling with a great war, the Spanish flu and lack of basic human rights.
Today, this generation is struggling with a watch.

Tbh it's not unreasonable to make accommodations in contexts where timeliness isn't that important. I'm a software engineer and I literally don't know when we're expected to start each day. I just kind of aim for 8-5. Other people start at random times. It would be ridiculous if we had some manager insist we all start at 8 a.m. (when no meetings are scheduled) because of...reasons.

That said, in some jobs timeliness is essential and if you can't manage that you are simply not qualified. Airplanes should take off precisely on time (lol though).

Time blindness

AKA everyone does everything when I want it

The internet never fails to find new levels of idiocy

Blind today. Replaced by AI tomorrow. The disposable generation.

If you don't want to work for a place that requires you be on time, don't. But good luck finding a business that will continue to be successful if you just let your workers show up whenever they want.

I despise people who are always late. I hate that we are at a point in history where this shitty behavior is accepted (in social situations mostly).

"I'm tired of workers rights not being prioritized in this country."

It's literally like working in 1800s. This is why we need unions.

Punctuality is a cultural feature. I struggle with (the lack of) it with my wife. Her cultural upbringing just doesn't emphasize the need to be 'on time' while my cultural upbringing very much has a "if you are not early, then you are LATE" attitude. Call it 'island time' or 'sand time' or 'fashionably late', it's still fucking late.

Of course the reality is folks who don't show up on time just don't care, if it were a priority then they would be there.

I'm not just blind. I'm time blind.

That gave me a much needed attitude boost today. Cheers!

Employer dodged a bullet.

 

[Hari Seldon]

This is why I'm not worried about ever being replaced in my job.

Take this medication twice a day with food and water for time blindness.

Unfortunately, it's a suppository.

The greater the responsibilities and qualifications, the more agency you're given to accomplish objectives on your own terms. It follows logically.

More people (and honestly businesses too) need to consider afternoon and evening shifts at places that accept them if they truly don't like waking up early.

This post is like when Gen X and older would constantly generalize milennials for every little thing an individual milennial would do or say.

They didn't have the time to create and time blindess accommodation because they couldnt see the value in it.
