And we all fall down, there’s not enough hours in a day
Smashing has put together a list of tips on Time Management; I wouldn’t say I was bad at time management, I think in many ways I’m quite good at it, but the part I find difficult is how you manage your time when you just don’t know what’s coming.
I suppose the answer is that if you’re in a situation where you can’t even apply most of these tips then there’s something fundamentally wrong with the system. Or perhaps I just need to get better at Number 10:
In Mission:Impossible (the first of the Tom Cruise films) the wrist mounted decibel meter he wears whilst being lowered into the ultra-secure chamber beeps to denote the level of noise it’s detecting. It has the coloured bars too but it actually beeps – I couldn’t find a clip of the scene but about 23 seconds into the trailer you can see and hear it beep.
What now?

Somewhat disappointingly I can’t even afford a Triceratops vertebrae, but if anyone’s feeling generous any of the following will suffice:
I think as expensive fossils go having a fossil pig has got to be a little rubbish, especially when you can buy a Titanothere for half the price which sounds way cooler (even if it’s actually just a big tapir).
Also: what the fuck now? Approaching the length of the contemporary Blue Whale, only with 7″ teeth!?
