Hall: Hard Days Easy For Clerks

I watch store clerks working themselves to a frazzle during the Christmas season and I realize how easy their job is this time of year. I have worked in such jobs and I tell you the easiest work is the hardest work because it makes the day move so rapidly. If you want to see a hard job, go watch the store clerks on a weekday in July. There you will see them standing around, waiting for customers, folding and refolding the merchandise, repeatedly glancing at their watches and sighing a lot. Einstein understood store clerks during the dead days of summer because Einstein understood relativity. He knew that a busy day races by whereas a day without anything to do lasts almost forever.

Question: Would you rather be slammed with work on the job — or be forced to look for things to do on a slow day?
