Can one person have a slow day and the other person a fast day?

Okay so Erin (propheticstar) and i are both at work and we're e-mailing each other bored out of our minds because the day is going so bloody slow! Erin commented on at least we're both having the same sort of day. We were wondering if people think it's possible for one person to have a slow day and the other person a fast day?

Wow I've wondered that as well.. Hmm not sure, suppose? Coz I do recall one time I said to someone oh my GOD was today so slow and they were like nop not really, went fast for me..

It's trippy when you think about it though lol

lol. i think its perfectly possible. my day has gone far too quickly today (nothing to do with the fact that I have an exam in 4 days that im not prepared for).

A lot of the time people seem to be having the same sort of day. Just once though my day was dragging along and this person was like "my day's sped by"

Maybe it's to do with oxygen levels...

I was totally thinking this last Friday.
I was actually genuinely wondering if time ACTUALLY moves slower some days.
Because everyone in our office had a realllly fast day yesterday and a realllly long one last Thursday.
But then one day I had a fast one and my friend had a slow one.

And I just know you wanted to know that.

Basically, I haven't a clue :)

Office time is different from real time though.

It's either double speed or half speed, depending on how close to a deadline you are & how boring your work is.

^^^ What Chels said, office/work time is not the same as real time.

I've had really slow days and other people have commented on how quickly it had gone, or vice versa.

I always feel like time goes really fast if I have lots to do which needs to be done that day, so I run out of time. Or it goes slow if I'm looking forward to going somewhere or doing something exciting.

I think it all depends on what your doing and how much you think about time itself.

(Hope that makes sense)

For me it always goes really fast from 7-8:30 and then it puts the breaks on and SH*TS ME TO HELL! >.<

i think it's got something to do with psychology. when you're in an altered state of consciousness the estimation of time can be inaccurate so one person can feel like everything is goign really fast while another person can feel like everything is just going super slow.
