Time and Motion studies, always bring out the "fear and loathing" in America. Just ask the recently departed, Hunter S. Thomson.

Time and Emotion: A Study

(Part I)

It began with an idea, an objective

To analyze motion and time,

An innocent theory, to derive better data

It devolved, into the worst of slime.

Seasoned professionals, we call ourselves

We ought to be mature, don't you think?,

But when someone observes us in practice

Why does it, give one cause to blink?

I pause now, and ponder the question

What causes discomfort in the action?

Being observed by a peer of my own

Why does this render a class-action?

Discomfort thrives amidst suspicion

Is there an ulterior motive in play?,

Are there camera's hidden in the trash barrels

Every move that we make, on display?

Truly, that scenario is doubtful

Perhaps historical issues are the drama,

It gives one a sense of being spied upon

Under the watchful eye of the Grand Lama.
