I really enjoyed our conversation on the annihilation of time and space and also taylorism. I had never thought there was a science to effective production, but I guess that is a capitalist thing to do. It was interesting to hear that the annihilation of time and space has dislocated people and their relationship to others. For example, the railroad, telegraph, and even refrigerated rail cars.   At first I didn’t understand the effect of refrigerated rail cars on time and space but one we started to discussing seasonal vegetables I understood. Having seasonal vegetables year round has changed the meaning of time and space, for example February doesn’t mean what it used to when we can get vegetables from February in June. We also discussed how people’s lives have changed based on different priorities. I didn’t know that time has been reflecting industrialization, since time zones were established around cities with railroad lines.

I wonder what Taylor would think of me while I was working at the Baby Gap. I took so many bathroom/water/breathing breaks. Folding baby clothes was tiring!
