Friday JohnKu day

 

Friday at last. I was talking to one of our fellow bloggers and she was saying how long some weeks seem and how short others are. I think there must be a law covering the relative length of the week. I can’t seem to find one so as a fiction writer I certainly am qualified to make one up. I think I will call it Frank’s Law of Work Week Time Relativity. Franks Law states: “The length of the work week is directly proportional to the difficulty and unpleasantness of the work being done.” So if the job is easy and fun the week will be short. If the job is difficult and nasty the week will be long. That half explains why weekends go by so fast. Weekends are covered by Julie’s corollary to Frank’s Law which in essence says, “all playtime ends too soon.” Today’s JohnKu (term coined by words4jp) takes another looks at relativity and is appropriately titled Time.

Time began alone,

No one there to help debut . . .

More witness the end.

    splendid Johnku – and I must say your theory is quite plausible. Isn’t there some sort of science high council? a high council of scientific braniac elders you can submit your theory to? I, mean, if Isaac can get a theory named after him, Pythagoras gets a theorem, and Higgs can get a boson thingymajiggybob,I believe it is only fair you get a Law… danggit. Let’s Google it….

      Sounds like a good idea. Einstein did touch on the relativity but not in the context of human angst. Thanks

    Great video and song. Haiku is rather poignant. Never really thought of that little fact of the world.

      Seems simple. The inspiration was from The Hollow Men by T.S.Eliot: “This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.”

        Think I’d prefer a bang. Sounds less painful and prolonged.

    Great JohnKu, full of truth. And yes, Frank’s Law seems to be immutable!

    ‘Frank’s Law of Work Week Time Relativity’ is as irrefutable as ‘Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation’. Have a good weekend.
