Band Name of the Day

06/30/04’s illustrious band:

Tick Tock

Brought to you by sands through the hourglass.

The clock is ticking. The year is half over already. Let’s say 182 days have passed. Where did they go?

I attempt to spend about 1/3 of my time sleeping, so let’s call that 60 days in the sack. That leaves 122 days.
I’ve worked 37.5 hours, or about 1.5 full days, for 26 weeks: the equivalent of 39 days at the office. But I’ve had a few days off; say I worked 35. That leaves 87 days.
I spend about 12 hours, or .5 days, each week doing T’ai Chi and other martial arts. Over 26 weeks, that’s 13 days of kicking butt. That leaves 74 days.
Between going to work and going to class, I average around 8 hours, or 1/3 of a day, driving each week. Over 26 weeks, that’s about 8.5 days behind the wheel. No wonder my butt aches! That leaves 65.5 days.
I spend a minimum of 15 minutes per day in the shower. That’s about 1/100 of a day times 182 days for a total of 1.82 days of hygiene. That leaves 63.68 days.
Once clean, a girl’s gotta eat. Let’s say I spend an average of 30 minutes a day preparing and consuming food: 2/100 of a day for 182 days is 3.64 days, leaving 60.04.
Let’s say I devote 5 hours a week, about 3/100 of a day, to household chores like mowing, shopping, cleaning, and doing laundry. Over 26 weeks, that’s roughly .75 days spent tidying up. That leaves 59.29 days.

I could go on and on -- and you know I’m tempted to -- but that’s more than enough math for one day already. The point is, I can account for 122.71 days so far this year, but I can’t tell you exactly what I did with the remaining 59.29. That’s nearly two whole months! I know I spend a lot of time reading and playing computer games, but . . . two whole months? Surely not. What the heck else have I been doing? Has anyone seen me? Can you fill me in? Hurry it up, please. The clock is ticking.

Today around the world: June 30 is Bank Holiday, or Balance Day, in El Salvador.
