Now is in the know, now, you know?

So I contacted a co-worker about when we could meet about some "work" thing, and he replies "Now works for me."

I thought that was pretty presumptuous, to think that he controlled time. (Dr.) Who does he think he is, a Time lord?

Then it hit me... Now is a person. A real life person. I think he used to work for my boss, because he's always forgetting who I am and calling me "Now" by mistake. Like: "I need this, Now." "I'm going home, Now." "Clean up your office, Now."

Come to think of it, he must have worked for my last boss, too. He said the same things.

Hey, this "now" guy has worked EVERYWHERE before I did and people are always confusing us... he must have been pretty deaf, because they always seem to say his name really,really loudly.

Weird.

But "Now" is gone. A fleeting moment that has passed. It's become "then", and how can I go back to the past?

He must have a pretty bad-looking resume, what with all those short-term jobs he gets. His problem is he's all about NOW, never thinking of "The Future." Life can be pretty tough for Now. Things always look better in the past and in the future.

So if you're "living in the Now", is that like demonic possession?
