I think it means that work consumes our time...and leaves little time for anything else. When you think about it; and factor in all the related preparatory time related to ones line of work...it can seem preposterously disproportionate to leisure time and the time for the pursuit of other interests...with a diminishing block of time for the things that are important to us, such as family and loved ones. It is very discouraging; the demands placed on our time seem to be taken for granted and are seldom appreciated. No wonder we are weary! Also, it implies that when you are fully engaged, your time is engaged also...and time seems to expand to fill it. Thank you for such an interesting topic.

Isn't that the second principal of Peter's Principals. The first one is of course being promoted to your level of incompetence.
