People tend to underestimate or overestimate the time that could be saved or lost, when increasing or decreasing the travelling speed. There is a non-linear dependency, so it may be hard to grasp intuitively.

Here's hoping she doesn't spend too much time sitting there thinking about time that she becomes late!

I believe she had planned to spend some time thinking anyway.

How forethinking of her to plan time to think!

She thinks often, she likes plans. The conclusion: she plans thinking too. ^^

I don't expect anything less from her.

That probably explains why maniacs who drive too fast on the highway rarely arrive at their destination significantly earlier or in less time....(most of the time, they end up getting stuck at the same red-lights as I do...)  It makes sense that the same principle would also apply in flying-time as well.

Yes, especially when they have to stop often before traffic lights... ^^

Ну да, она из-за края комикса выглядывает, просто обычным зрителям этого не видно. Кстати, мне нравится вариант имени Щимер... ^^ Только, наверное, лучше с удвоением «м»: Щиммер. Или даже так: Щщиммер...
