I got in at nine thirty, I've been here for what seems like 7 hrs, and yet it's only quarter to eleven.

How fast am I moving?

Not fast enough to stop typing it seems. Speed up.

You may be experiencing some time dilation effects as you might be in the presence of a large mass.

Try looking around the office for a large porker gorging on a KFC family bucket and move further away. If you can't then you may be within her event horizon.

You might be on to something. I'm the only person in my office and I'm the only person I have ever worked with who has ever bought a KFC family bucket back to their desk. Although I did share some of the chips.

Fatty. Do you have your own gravity field? Do you find objects attach themselves to you?

Everyone does, to some extent.

I've always put that down to magnetism

Relative to what?

My lunch, which I have been waiting bloody ages for.

Right now I have some perspective.

What is white and yellow and moves at 125mph? A train driver's egg sandwiches.

Run away from the office, the closer you get to light speed the more relative time will have passed when you get back.
