Moving It Back!

May 15, 2019

Wow, I am behind in my blog, but life goes on! Today, I want to ask all of you about something that bugs me! It is the phrase, "It got move back to the end of next week."

Now, here is my problem. If you move something back, where does it go? It goes back, right? Well then, how can you move it forward, to next week? This phrase has always been confusing to me. Can anyone explain to me how or why it is called moving back when it is actually going forward. When I use to work in an office, I always got a date, never assuming that I understood where the thing that was being moved, was going!

Example: from a friend's story:

"They pushed my hearing back to the end of next week." Rebecca hadn't even known that it had been scheduled.

"Why?"


So there, HELP, someone explain the rationality of this!
