T is for Time Vampires


Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about.

Time Vampires are everywhere and you've probably been a victim in your lifetime...and if you haven't...well, it might be time to admit that you are a Time Vampire. Just get it out there, we all already know.

Time Vampires often come when you have the least time to spare. It's as though they know. The Time Vampire is not well-studied due to the fact that researchers generally have a lot of stuff to do and if you hang out near a Time Vampire for too long, you don't get anything done.

Time Vampires are the ones that email, chat, call, visit, show up unexpectedly, etc. and are filled with need. What need? They need your time. They need your advice, counsel, opinion, response, etc. They just want you to give to them. It's very hard to say no to a Time Vampire and they often don't take hints about you needing to get going.

Time Vampires are not malicious. They don't want to hurt you, they just want your valuable (or not so valuable, don't be so full of yourself) time. And just like real vampires they can't come in unless you invite them. So you can't feel too bad when they show up. If you didn't care about them, they wouldn't be there.

A PSA from the Institute for Mythical Creatures.

Ta-Ta for now.

I feel like this was directed at me. Speaking of which, how many any times do you have left this month, and have you found your web cam yet?
