Does time speed up as you get older or is it a symptom of the internet age? No one tarries or bides time anymore. We're so addicted to instant messaging, coffee & credit, fast finance & food, that waiting has become a lost art.
Time is very precious. I never seemed to have enough of it when I lived in the UK. I worked through the heady dotcom days with the geeks and freaks and was featured in .Net as one of the first UK 'cybergrrls'. I ended up working far too many hours building corporate websites, and found a part time job as Editor of a European KM website which I now manage online from my New Zealand home.
| Now I'm living on Kiwi time my motto is Live Slow, Die Old. It's taken me a year to chill out from the British pace of life. Maybe it's the sun (I'm sure it's the pot) but it's hard to rush things over here. Time passes more slowly in New Zealand - even the clocks sound more laid back. I think it's because a lot of Kiwis surf. Surfing forces you to be chilled as you can't rush the waves. All you can do is float on your board and wait. |  |
