Work: Slow or Busy?

Everyone who works probably gets that anxiety before they walk through the front doors about the busyness. I  definitely do especially if its for a home football or volleyball game.  We pray that there’s not that long of a line, and if there is one then its time to put the game face on and keep the customers moving through.

I couldn’t find anything on how we would know if it would be busy or not at work, so I thought of way we could test it.

My hypothesis (theory) would be “Will it be slow or busy at work today?” The independent variable (X) in this case are the days I work during the week and the dependent variable is the calendar of events.

To test this I would first look at the calender and look at the dates on the days I work. Then I would look to see all the events that are scheduled for that specific day.  After that’s done, the next step would be to write down all the possible third variables that are associated with the days I work during the week and calendar of events. They include the time in which the event starts, what the weather’s going to look like that day, if classes are going on,  the totals from each of the registers  throughout the day and finally whether its morning, afternoon or evening.

Afterwards I would make a graph in excel and keep on recording what I see for a few weeks. That’s all I can think of doing as of right now. I’d say this would be considered a correlation because the days of work depend on the calendar of event, but it doesn’t work the opposite way.

    i actually anticipate a busy day because it makes the time go by faster , there is a study that shows that time is not constant the brain “contructs” time. In the study they put a dot on the screen and when it moved closer to the person time seemed to be going slow and as it was moving away from the person time seemed to be move fast. So time perception is up to the individual .
    here is the study…
