How You Think of Time Can Reveal Angry Disposition
Researchers have concluded that how you perceive time – either actively or passively — can reveal whether you are quick to anger or tend to be placid.
In one test, they asked participants if they were told a Wednesday meeting were moved forward two days, which day would it now be on? Those who said Friday, according to researchers, saw themselves as moving through time (in other words, actively) and were more likely to get angry easily.
Three! Two! One! and One More! 2008 Will Last an Extra Second
Ready to say adios to 2008? You are going to have to wait one whole second longer this New Year's Eve. The world's official timekeepers (who knew we had them?!) have added what they call a leap second to the last day of the year to help sync clocks to the earth's slowing spin on its axis.
Barack Obama Adds Time's Person of the Year to Win Column

Do Tell: Are You Always Late or Right on Time?
It seems that most of you feel being late is inconsiderate, and it sends a disrespectful message to those waiting for you. I happen to agree — I'm always on time — but I have friends that are late no matter what, even when they give themselves extra time. I've grown accustomed to it though, and I just consider it their little quirk.
Do Tell: How Did Your Friendships Change Over Time?
When you've known someone a long time, it's inevitable that you'll experience bumps along the road, but with some friends, those growing pains are more frequent. With age comes maturity and a greater sense of awareness, and sometimes the things that didn't affect us before become serious issues in our present relationships. Friendships can either grow stronger or farther apart over time, so if you've ever struggled with an old friendship, do tell, what changed over the years and what obstacles did you both have to overcome to make your friendship work?
The How-To Lounge: Becoming More Punctual
If you’ve always been a late person, then being punctual is an important, but oddly challenging, habit to learn. Not only will it come in handy for the boring necessities like paying the bills or making it to the dentist on time, but your friends will be ever so thankful. I’ve put together a few ideas for how to become a person who’s always on time.
Do Tell: What Do You Consider a Long-Term Relationship?
When a relationship is serious, it’s common to define it as long term in order to qualify its significance. But what does long term really mean? Chitchatting with some girlfriends the other night, I realized that we all had a different length of time that qualified as long term in our books.
You Asked: My Friends Don't Respect My Time
Dear Sugar,
I feel like the people in my life don't respect me. Several of my friends and even my boyfriend are very inconsiderate when it comes to our time together. I make plans with them and time and time again, they either cancel or show up extremely late.
The How-To Lounge: Keeping in Touch With Old Friends
Often, even if we have the best of intentions, life tends to get in the way of staying in touch with the people that we care about. It’s easy to put off a phone call for one week and watch it turn into four, until finally a year’s gone by without a single word exchanged. Before you know it, you’ve inadvertently lost a friend that you really cared about and enjoyed having in your life.
