[ WP ] First line `` I remember when a day was only 24 hours long . ''

I remember when a day was only 24 hours long. I have, however, forgotten exactly when the government introduced its new ‘ More Minutes ’ scheme. The days flow together and in the beginning, people were found frequently walking around in pyjamas. I recall my manager coming to work so disorientated that he made a coffee with dirt and exclaimed it was the best drink he ’ s had since being breastfed. 
 
 The idea was, of course, to get more productivity. There are no set hours for people to work if nobody knows how long a working day should be. Mark, on my team, typed the same four numbers into a spreadsheet until his fingers bled and he has been off with stress ever since. 
 
 Diaries and calendars have become obsolete and people are coming up with new ways of keeping time. I am due to go on a date with a girl from our office when the manager next wears a red tie. 
 
 There have been calls for a revolution. Understandably. Nobody is happy with what has been happening. But it ’ s hard to organise such a wide group of people with no schedule. I am part of it though and as far as I ’ m aware, we ’ re going to march to the House of Commons tomorrow. But I ’ m not entirely sure when that is.
