well its 520 hrs and i've just come in from an 11 hr shift.

quite a bit of it spent travelling at 1oo mph+

has anyone else notice that if you go at high speed for any length of time that when you slow down to normal, 50 or 60 mph it seems really slow.

thought i was doing 45-50 on drive home and was actually doing 70.

then got in the house and did a bit of wood wrk.
have taken up knife making and am finishing my first knife, which is a small 75 mm blade with a handle made from curly birch with reindeer antler and bark spaces. starting to look quite nice, just need to be patient whilst sanding.

quote of the night, " well if we crash at this speed we won't have to worry about being injured" me to my partner as we were making our way to some drunk beating up his wife at 145 mph.

the last paragraph kinda gives my job away.
 
Have you ever noticed that after running those speeds, when you stop, everything seems to be moving away from you? Weird. With a job like yours I would think that a nice calm hobby would be in order, coming down from a day at work must be a bitch! I don't know how you guys do it.

Hi Cypher,
It is indeed quite normal for your built in speedometer to recalibrate.
Not so different really than decompressing from deep sea diving and / or acclimating to altitude.

Decompressing after a day of dealing with pure evil, that is likely a challenge.

Einteins" special theory of relativity" stated that as matter speeds up time appears to slow down.His example was that a clock at high speed appears to tick slower.
If this is true ,it would follow that when you slow matter down time would appear to speed up.This may account for the feeling we have that we are going really slow when we slow down from a period of travelling at high speed.
Eintein felt that this effect would not be perceptible at speeds lower than the speed of light...but what did he know anyway?
If you can fill your head with these kind of thoughts at the end of your high speed shifts they may help you decompress.
Better yet slow down...
