    Sure, yeah.

    20:30 December 24 as a kid through 05:30-ish? Until I actually fell asleep anyway it felt eternal. Like the second hand on the clock fucking with you by sticking but still ticking. Which that shit did back then but always sprung back to barely-any-time-passed.

    I had a long career with plenty of digg/reddit time that made a nine hour day feel like a pleasant nine, but still nine. Too bad they also made the rest of the 15 feel like shit.

    I answered tier one tech calls from collection agents. Eight hours was eternal. Worse than Christmas, soul crushing, can’t make a joke about it. Left.

    Now I have a job that I love that is 12 to 15 if OT. Breezes by.

    Human nature I think.

    If you meant on a larger timescale then - yes also, but nobody needs dreadful anecdotes.
