No clocks?!

[HYHYBT]

Knowing the time while taking a timed test, to me, is essential. Otherwise, how are you supposed to know, if a question is giving trouble, whether you have time to puzzle it out or not?

Our college has clocks in the back of the room, which is annoying because you have to turn all the way around and look.

I just like knowing what time it is. I get a little nuts if I don't. I pay attention in class, but rarely is a lecture so engaging that I lose track of time.

Also, I had some professors who liked to lecture down to the wire, so knowing the time let me start filing my notes and quietly putting things away so that as soon as we were dismissed I could bolt across campus and just make it to my next class.

at work we used to be time sensitive getting things ready for drivers
now we do alot of the packing in the evening as they changed the routes and there is no pressure on the morning picker, mostly due to the main drop now in the evening and then due to the fact that we are automatically 90minutes 2 hours ahead of the game when we come in, so now I find myself idling slightly and finishing only an hour earlier than I would have done should we have the full list to do, instead of the 90 mins or more

I used to need the clock in my room as I had to have the London van ready by 8am, it was normally done by 7:30 and I had Ely by 8, then the rest had less pressure as I had to wait for the Ely driver to come back to pick up the next drops. Also I have a break to take, sort out the staff lunch by 10 for frozen food and 10:30 for fridge stock, without a clock I would just do my tickets in order and have no idea what time it is and just hope that I don't leave the driver waiting.

I'm without a radio so I have no sounds save for myself and the chiller units, but when I brought a stereo in I found myself timing each ticket to the length of a song and that was counter productive, I didn't want to know how long it took to do each ward, I just wanted it done and I found doing something like picking my fruit from the main stores with a radio would last a whole song, something I didn't think was right, as all it was was 4-6 orders to fill.

Does knowing you only have 15 minutes left somehow make the time pass quicker, or does every minute seem to take an hour?

When one professor tries to keep class past the time it ends and I have a class in 10 minutes on the opposite side of campus, going from the top floor of one building to the top floor of the other one? It damn well does matter when class lets out. Especially because some professors are still on that power trip of "you will leave when I dismiss you", even though the exact opposite is true. When 8:55 (or 10:10, or 1:25, or whenever) rolls around, the class is over, and if the professor tries to prevent the class from leaving they can get in serious trouble with their department (because we are adults and have other classes to attend and other responsibilities to take care of).
