23km/hr and then some

Not sure from which this saying originates, but I heard that a person's time goes as fast as her age. If you're five, time passes at the rate of 5km per hour and you feel that the day never ends. When you're in your fifties, it will be at 50+km/hr, and you don't know where time has gone.
I say this is a legitimate theory. Except in lecture halls, where space and time continuum takes a different form, yet to be understood by the scientific community.

Today I was late for work -- but not exactly for my own fault. Two trucks got into a pretty bad accident (though no one got hurt) and both of them got turned over. They had to close down one of the lanes in the high way, and my bus arrived about 30 min. late. I think my boss understood because she told me to "just focus on getting to work safely" but still I felt so embarrassed. This is the third time that I was late without a legit excuse. Maybe they don't really care because I'm only an intern. It matters to me though. (Funny how things change when you're working...)

Oh, and I ordered a new keyboard yesterday and it arrived today. Isn't Seoul amazing.
The keyboard that I previously used had a faulty shift key and it got very annoying. I didn't really like how I was constantly typing on a keyboard that god-knows-who used. (I REFUSE to get sick nowadays and have become somewhat germaphobic.) I guess I'll pluck this into the netbook or something after I'm done using it at the office.

Other stuff that I ordered online is supposed to arrive some time today or tomorrow. I had the keyboard delivered to the office and it was quite convenient. I'm considering doing that from now on for all other parcels, but I fear that the mail room guy will catch on with my shoppaholic symptoms.
