You Know You're In A Hurry When...
you eat a yogurt parfait earlier in the day and you look down (HOURS LATER) only to discover that your shirt is covered with yogurt and blueberries! Now you wonder, "How could I not have seen that? I must have been devouring that like a vacuum!" Rush, rush, rush, go, go, go! Our lives are crazy and sometimes we don't realize it until we check our clothes. Emotions run wild and our hair becomes haywire! Here are some clues that your life is always a race against the clock... Just in case you don't realize it.
You Find Hamburger On Your Shirt Hours Later
First of all, why are you eating fast food? Wait, that’s another guide. Secondly, aren’t humans supposed to eat slowwwwwly? Why are we chomping down our food so fast that we miss our mouths?
There’s no time to do laundry, so I suggest look at what you’re eating, sit down and eat it, and then breathe afterwards. Yeah, let’s see if that works on my way home tonight!
You Pull A Brittany
When you’re in a hurry, you forget that people are around.
You being thinking to yourself, “How could I have forgot to put underwear on underneath that skirt?” OR “I think I’ll just flash my entire life to the entire world! Right here in my car!”
You may be caught mumbling to yourself in the process.
You Left Your Baby At Home
I personally have never done this because I don’t have a baby, BUT if I did have a baby I’d probably forget it.
Everyone But Yourself Is Insane!
When I’m out in the world power walking to and from my destinations, I look around at people. Sometimes I think about how much easier it would be if everyone would just be placed in straight jackets!
That way, all the crazies (meaning everyone) will be out of my WAY!
You Forget To Eat
With coffee and lack of sleep holding on to your veins, sometimes food is the last thing on the mind.
If you want a heart attack, continue down this path. I guarantee you’ll be one skinny dead person in about a month!
You Forget To Sleep
Once you are sleep deprived, all you begin to see are the Three Stooges. Then four, then five then more Stooges everywhere!
This may be an after effect from lack of sleep. Trust me on this one, I couldn’t get these guys out of my head for days!
Get some sleep!
You Sprint EVERYWHERE!
“GO! YOU’RE ALMOST THERE! OH MY GODDDDDD!”
Ever screamed this sentence, or one similar, while sprinting to work? Hmmmm I’m there EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!
Coffee Is No Longer A Comodity But A Drug
Yes! This is me, hooked up to a coffee IV. I am addicted like most of the world, to coffee. I remember the day when coffee was just a warm beverage to sip and relax.
Nope! Not anymore! I rely on the stuff and it fuels my entire day. No longer relying on just one cup but 5 a day! AHHHHHHHHHHH!
You Think You're In Control
Actually, we are never in control. Hate to break it to ya! I find that when I’m in a hurry, I am the only one in control. So when something doesn’t “go my way” I am so UPSET!
Might As Well Embrace It
Just buy shirts that are already stained or appear to be wet. That way, when you do get them dirty from your crazy life, it will appear to be planned!
Get it Here!
A by JayFerris guide that might bring down the stress.
Everyone Is An Animal
You may begin to think that everyone is out to attack you and get in your way. The world becomes a jungle and there is no mercy! You then become only HUMAN on the planet! Well, at least in the general vicinity.
Sometimes I look around and all I see are snarly faces, huge fangs, and piercing eyes. I catch them eating bananas every now and then too!
Old Ladies Annoy You
When I’m in a hurry I always wonder why old people move so slow! Could it be that they’re old? Hmmmm. I just pray that one of them doesn’t need my help (is that bad)?
Yet, every single time I try to go around them, they seem to waddle and wave in the direction that I’m going. Can they not see through the back of their heads that I’m approaching?!!
Ok, I’ll help one… one day!
Ever Lose Your Mind?
Sometimes we are not in our right minds when we are rushing around. I never am! I am always leaving the house without something, or think I did this and that. I can’t speak for Micheal so…
OK, let’s not assume everyone has a mind.
You Fall Down The Stairs
Without premeditation anything but getting somewhere, I have fallen down the stairs multiple times! All for the simple fact that somehow my brain jumps ahead of my body!
It STILL happens on a daily basis.
This may be a common occurrence when you’re in a hurry.
The World Becomes Overwhelming
Something as simple as a skyscraper can begin to feel like it’s sucking you down into a deep abyss. I know, I’ve been there.
Shouldn’t this be a clue to slow us down?
You Convince Yourself That Being The Only Human Wouldn't Be So Bad
“….. if only I were all alone in the wilderness away from society, people, work, plans, expectation…”
I actually don’t think it would be so bad. I mean it would get a bit lonely, and sad, and, and, and… OH SCREW IT! I’M THERE!!
Leave One Job To Go To Another
What?! More work? Yes, this is all too familiar to my life which consists of hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, etc.
These days ya can’t just have ONE job! That would make life too simple.
You Leave The Water Running
When you’re in a hurry, all you care about is get up, do it, and go. Do it, as in jump in the shower, and LEAVE!
This may include leaving the faucet running to flood your entire apartment building, thus resulting in a giant flood, and lots and lots of bills to pay!
How To Simplify Your Rushed Life
- Try cutting some things out that you don’t need. Hmm like playing Wii when you get home?
- Bring snack such as fruit and nuts to work with you. This is a great way to consume long lasting energy!
- Think about every step you take. That way, you won’t fall down the stairs!
- SLOW DOWN!
- If you see an old lady, help her!
- Leave yourself plenty of time in the AM to sit down with a cup of coffee, the paper, and relax before the day begins.
- Refer to this guide as needed!
Find Ways To Calm Yourself
Cuddle with fluffy animals! YAY!
No really. I found a stuffed dog that produces a lavender scent when you squeeze his head or butt. Lavender has been proven to be calming and helps you sleep! Get him Here!
Ok, if you aren’t down for that idea, try Sound Therapy.

I am not loyal to any one place that serves up coffee. I like to hop around from place to place until I have found the perfect cup of coffee, or at least until my heart gives out.
I love to poke fun at people, places, and circumstance. You can be a Coffee Slut too. Let's chat over a cup...
