93 Entries for “timing”

  1. Timing can be very tricky. You’re either lucky or you’re not. In one split second, you can meet the love of your life or lose your most treasured person. Timing is ridiculous and outrageous but that’s what life is all about: being in the right place at the right time. However, is there such a thing as good timing?

  2. I’m getting this in under the wire. My next class is in four minutes and I haven’t even finished deleting the extra slides on my presentation. I just created the lesson in the past 20 minutes. I AM THE TEACHER. I have BAD timing. I have procrastination inspiriation

  4. The timing was wrong. I knew it. I could see the horror on my family’s face when they heard the giggle fall from my lips and the smirk on my face that switched to a guilty, squeamish grin.
    “Sorry,” I mumbled. Hearing about the death of my mother shouldn’t result in laughter. But the shock that punched me in the gut seem to push laughter from my lips instead of crushing sadness that would overwhelm me when my mind stopped spinning.

  5. Timing is everything. Is it not. The irony of timing, is that we have all this time and seemingly none at all. It is fluid and perhaps the only constant in life and yet it manipulates us and causes us the utmost anxiety. When we think it’s run out we do the most terrible things and when we think it last forever we languish. It is our creator and captor.

  6. My sorrowful face said sorry itself for my bad timing. I had been going through a rough time. I even said sorry over and over and over, but even this didn’t buy me sympathy. I had been a second late because I was distracted. I had also been given confusing directions that got all mixed up in my head.

  8. I sigh
    Finally letting go
    There is no point in clinging to what has been lost
    The opportunity is gone
    The timing is wrong

  10. Timing. Timing is important. It effects a lot of things, such as a conversation.

  11. Uncanny the way that things can change with only language and space in between them. Language is a superpower. It makes people act, it makes people feel, it makes people believe.

  12. Oh gosh I’m gonna be late for the train no no no no nooooOOOOO

  14. This is perfect timing. As long as I’m present. Right now is perfect timing. I got fired this week. I’m sad. I’m living. I’m eating oatmeal. And finally writing. And listening to a TED talk in the background. I am writing.

  15. Timing, you could be timing how long it takes you to microwave popcorn or bake a cake. maybe you could be timing how long you can hold your breath under water before your lungs start to burn and scream that they need oxygen. you could be timing how long it takes to commit a murder and how long it the detectives working the case to figure out your the murderer. Timing can be as simple as to baking a cake or killing man.

  16. Bad timing, I guess you should say. What just came out was something I wasn’t prepared for, now I just have to wait and see the outcome… Help me!

  17. “Time! Pencils down Ms. Tuttleduck said to her students. Today they were taking a very important test for the state, to decide if they were all ready to move up to the fifth grade in next years school year.

  18. “Now you have to be exact. Precise. We can’t afford any mistakes.”
    “I…I’m not sure if I can do this.”
    “Well, the nice thing is, you don’t have a choice. People are depending on you. Steady, now.”
    “Well, I just…what happens if I mess up?”
    “Then the souffle is ruined.”

  19. clock backwards tick-tocking around the globe till we run, not out, but slow, so much slower
    suddenly we have time to finish the tiny pieces of looks begun

  20. Timing – why is this the same word as yesterday. 14/9/16. timing is obviously off on the site…and here I thought I’d be able to offload some reflectionist drivel like yesterday afternoon…

  21. the timing of the leaf falling was perfect. As the girl looked up, the leaf slowly floated in the breeze down to graze her hand. She sighed, and remembered how much she hated being outside. Looking back down, she picked up her pen

  22. Right timing is crucial to one’s success in life. A word said at the right time, a small gesture or act of kindness offered at the right moment when it is most needed is priceless. It’s even a matter of life and death. So hone your skills to know when to say or do what for others.

  25. sometimes i wanna get what i want in a short time. no matter what the situation is, i am forcing God to do everything faster and instant. but, i realized that what would happen is not my time nor His time. what can i do in my own timing?

  26. I never have very good timing. I can read faces, empathize with people’s feelings, and yet, if I want to say something funny my timing is often off. Or maybe it’s my phrasing? Who knows.

  27. It’s everything, or so they say. Time to us is a prison. Inescapable. To God, however, it is a tool. He uses it to drive us and guide us. Till one day when it no longer matters.

  29. Our timing was always off.
    Every time I reached for you,
    My fingers brushed against the fabric of your shirt
    As you walked away.

    We were always entangled in this sad, partner-less dance,
    Until the day you married her.
    Then I knew that time would make no difference
    Anymore.

  30. timing is everything
    true story, bro

  31. “Oh, shit.” Andy froze in the doorway with her favorite old, chipped teapot in hand, eyes wide and body tense. “This is awful.”

    “What do you mean?” Oscar seemed entirely unconcerned by the expression of abject horror currently contorting his wife’s features as he continued settling fertilizer into the pot of a small fern. Behind him, Godot was making her way across the shelf of succulents and cacti, carefully avoiding the sharp spines as she stalked a butterfly that had found its way into the room. “I don’t think I’ve quite got your green thumb, but I think I’ve been doing a relatively decent job at this.”

    Somehow, his words seemed to snap Andy out of her reverie, and she blinked owlishly at him before scowling. “Not that,” she said tersely. “You’ll forgive me if I’m as appreciative of your handiwork as I might usually be, but right now it’s the middle of rush hour traffic and I think my water just broke.” She was strangely out of breath when she finished, and Andy, unsure of what else she might do, simply looked at Oscar expectantly, waiting for his reaction.

    Oscar didn’t react immediately; he finished filling the pot with fertilizer, pulled off his gloves, set them on the floor before rising to look her in the eye. He wiped his hands on his thighs, and left behind a large, dark smudge of dirt and fertilizer on his jeans.

    “Oh,” he finally said after a very long moment. “That is awful.”

  32. What’s the secret to good comedy? Timing! That’s a joke my dad used to tell (and as you can imagine, timing was EVERYTHING). He died three years ago and while he was a sucky parent, I miss him a lot.

  33. The timing was perfect.

    The figure leapt from the darkness to attack the huge monsters attacking his tribe. The stone things – he thought the ones that used them called them machines – were led in a wild frenzy trying to catch him.

  34. It’s really tricky. Trying to get more than 140 people to all play different notes at the exact right time while a few yards away from the closest person. Marching band is hard. And there are more than 150 people on the field at a time.

  35. I walked into the meeting room, balancing coffee cups on top of eachother, dangerously close to falling over.

    I could hear shouting from outside of the room, but i ignored it and opened the door.
    “Coffee’s here-”
    “They’re the most useless employee!” My boss shouted, motioning towards where I am before realizing I was there and becoming silent.

  37. shush.
    you must wait until
    the time
    is right.

    i’ll be here when you get back.

  38. I regret that I did not learn to time my lessons when I commenced junior high. If learned to do it then I would have known how to discipline myself and if I spread the assignment which gives me a greater amount of time to complete it I would have focused not upon distracting myself but upon

  39. Timing is everything. A single moment can change the entire direction of your life. Good. Bad. Who knows unless you take that step. Time isn’t always on our side like The Stones say, but if we work on our timing I would hope we can make things better. Timing is everything.

  40. I timing out if I will pass the the big test. I timing myself to read a book.
