Time Traveling

To this day, it still blows my mind how much of a challenge it is for certain people to know their own schedule. Example: Several weeks into a new college semester, someone emails the day before he is set to begin his new job stating he (unfortunately) is not able to start as planned.


Why, you may ask?


"The hours just aren't going to work for me. I thought I'd be able to make them work, but I go to school in the mornings Monday-Friday, so I won't be able to take this job. If you have something overnight, that would work best. Sorry."


What were the scheduled hours of the job he had accepted and was slated to start? Mornings...Monday through Friday.

 

Sir. How in the ever-loving world did you think you were going to make morning hours for a job work if you were going to school also in the morning? Let me remind you that it could not possibly have been a frigging surprise that the hours overlapped: You've been attending morning classes for several weeks already! What part of that schedule did you think you were going to “make work”? I'd like to know your thought process. Seriously.


Did you somehow come by Hermione's Time Turner necklace from the third book in the Harry Potter series (nerd alert!) that allowed her to take two classes at the same time because she could literally turn back time to be in two places at once? Do you have that necklace? Are you a sorcerer that can rip the space-time continuum to allow you to traverse different timelines? No? Then how? How did you not understand that you couldn't go to school and work a job at the same time?


I feel I am on the precipice of learning something absolutely indispensable about the human mind....
