When I was teaching in Egypt (I love saying that), my students were endlessly fascinated with asking me questions about how I spent my work time at my library. They were interested in things like how many hours a day I was on the desk, how many people I spoke to in an average hour, how many questions I answered a day, etc. They were also curious about what I did with my time off the desk and how much off desk time I had in a day. It was tough to answer those questions, and I found myself giving a lot of it depends answers. I think they were a little disappointed that I couldn't quantify what I do.

Which has left me wondering, what exactly do I do with my time? I know what my job is and what I am responsible for, but I'm not really sure where my time goes in taking care of those responsibilities. Does anyone else experience this, or is this just me being a lazy lima bean?
