I can't stand it when other people waste my time. Lately at work it's been one useless meeting after the other for a solid week, and there's more to come. I can't control my contempt at times.
But then, I have no problem with wasting my own time. While I have quite a number of things happening these days, surfing aroung youtube is still one of them. "Wow, that's such an amazing/inspiring/sad/moving/etc. video! I'll remember this for a long time!" Have you ever thought that while on youtube, and then completely forgotten everything you saw by the next morning? That happens to me regularly.
So then, it's no so much an issue of time as it is an issue of power. I just cannot take other people telling me what to do, unless they're telling me to do things I either (a) agreed to do already, or (b) would do anyway. Even then it's irritating. So if my girlfriend wants me to... but if she wants me to... well you get the point.
This is probably a personal flaw, but whatever the case, it will inform my career decisions quite thoroughly.
