====== Time Management Nonny ======

{{ :white_rabbit_from_alice_in_wonderland.jpg?200|Old-fashioned illustration of the White Rabbit from "Alice in Wonderland," fretting about his lateness}}In June of 2015, a thread about people's [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/141763.html?thread=747860419#cmt747860419|personal bugbears]] acquired a [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/141763.html?thread=747866051#cmt747866051|fairly standard comment]] griping about people who are habitually late.

A nonny who [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/141763.html?thread=747915971#cmt747915971|replied]] had an... interesting perspective on reality, saying:

//I'm one of those people. It's not like it's intentional and believe me, we suffer from it more than you do.//

When [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/141763.html?thread=747916739#cmt747916739|told]] "//It might not be intentional, but it seems you need to learn to manage your time better.//", the nonny [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/141763.html?thread=747918275#cmt747918275|declared]] that: 

//I'm very good at managing time, so that can't be the root of the problem.//

Meme, obviously, found this hilarious. Nonnies repeatedly told Time Management Nonny that if they were chronically late, they were not actually good at managing their time, but they [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/141763.html?thread=747922627#cmt747922627|insisted]] that:

//"Time management is the act or process of planning and exercising conscious control over the amount of time spent on specific activities, especially to increase effectiveness, efficiency or productivity."//\\
\\
//I'm very good at that. I have my daily activities planned down to every hour.//

(A nonny also [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/141763.html?thread=747923907#cmt747923907|referenced]] a potential wiki page about this wank 'practically writing itself', a prediction that is finally being fulfilled.)

They further [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/141763.html?thread=747926467#cmt747926467|elaborated]] on why they are incapable of being on time father down the thread:

//I do have everything calculated. I know exactly what time the bus arrives and how long I will drive it, and what time I need to be at the place. I just don't know why it doesn't work. If anything, knowing the time is what ruins it for me, because I don't start feeling the pressure until after I see the clock hit the exact minute the bus leaves, and even then my brain goes "oh well, I still have an hour left, maybe I can wait for another bus!".//

After having it pointed it out to them several more times that this was not actually evidence of good time management, they [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/141763.html?thread=747934915#cmt747934915|flounced]]:

//I'm done with this thread.//

Flouncing didn't make nonnies stop, so they [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/141763.html?thread=747945155#cmt747945155|pouted some more]]:

//People are nasty assholes, as evidenced by the crap they throw at me in this thread, although I've never done anything to insult them. //

And [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/141763.html?thread=747949507#cmt747949507|even more]]:

//Pointing out by means of making fun of me? Thanks, I'll pass.//
