How Long It Actually Takes To...
Swing by my house when I'm already driving past it on the way to the library for an afternoon's work from a workout; the salient components of this "swing by" are (1) the amount out of my way I have to drive; (2) throwing some workout clothes on outdoor furniture to air-dry; (3) pouring coffee, sugar, milk, almond milk, and ice cubes in a thermos for iced coffee @ the library; (4) grabbing a few delicious bars for snacks at the library: 13:58.45
Oooh ooh ooh fam fam fam: this is a good one. Because all the things are true!
"All the things" meaning, in this case, two conflicting things. The first is: look, it doesn't take that long just do it if you need to.
But the second is: yeah, I mean, that's fifteen minutes. You knew it didn't take "like five minutes", unless we're destroying the meaning of "like" here (which I guess we pretty much have, but let's leave that for another day). If you've got a four-hour work session...that's 1/16th! That's time!
For the record, the 0.6 miles (cumulative, that's coming + going) of extra driving equates, per Google Maps, to an additional 2 minutes. So ~86% of this time is the faffing around at my house. But how is that possible!? These things, each of them takes less than a minute! RIGHT? Each takes no time! AND YET...
HliAT, fam. Hli-fucking-A-T.
