I have never been late for anything in my entire life.
Well, maybe a couple of times, but really I'm always on time for whatever. Even when my alarm clock doesn't go off, I still manage to wake up in time to get ready and not be late. I want to say I'm good at time management but I think it's got more to do with me always aware of time. Kinda funny cause I don't have a watch, well, I have a watch, but I don't wear it.
G, on the other hand, is the exact opposite. He has no concept whatsoever of time. I mean, if I ask him, how long will it take, he would say an hour and I would double that and that's when he'd be done. Did I make sense? Neways.
I am clueless when it comes to distance. If you told me, that it's about 2 miles away, I would still not comprehend how far it is. G is good at that. It's about a hundred yards, he'd say and I'd look at how far it is and think, so that's a hundred yards and then forget about it.
So, if we're driving down the road and I see a sign and it says 30 miles to wherever, what I would do is look at the speedometer and calcute how much longer before we get there, and I would think, about 30 minutes.
That's why if you ask me where in England do I live, I would say it's about 2 hours Northeast of London (traffic considered). Whereas G would say, were about 80 miles northeast of London.
And speaking of northeast, I have no sense of direction whatsoever, the only reason why I know we're northeast of London is because G said so. But that's another post...
