Can anyone explain why the last 1/2 day before you go
on holiday appears to last about 4 1/2 years?

On the contrary - I tend to find that it lasts about an hour and a half -
there's never enough time to race around and do everything that needs doing!

I.

Unpack then do it all again - that'll keep you occupied!

Indeed. The perception of time is inversely proportional to the
amount of things that need doing.

In nursing, it is more of a bell-curve.

With too little to do time travels slowly. Time speeds up as tasks
increase to optimum level. Then slows down as you get too busy (the
'What do you mean I've only been an hour?' syndrome) Eventually
leading to total standstill at the blue-arsed fly stage.

The curve then breaks down as you are instantaneously transported to
10 minutes before the endl of the shift with a 1001 jobs to do
