So, I have figured out how to manipulate time: try to download a large file.
I started the download of MS Office 2010 (that was supposed to have been preloaded on my new computer but wasn't). The download started off well enough, saying it would take about 45 minutes. That was about two hours ago.
It was at about 15 minutes remaining, so I decided to go run a quick errand that would take about that long. There were still 15 minutes remaining on the download when I got back.
Then I was down to 10 minutes. Then 7.
Now there are 20 minutes remaining.
I think I will leave and hope that the download speed does not drop under 1 KB/sec and still be running when I come in tomorrow.
I was thinking about pausing it and restarting when I got home, but then realized that I have once again forgotten the password to my wireless router. The next time I hack it and reset the password, I am making a label and sticking that to the frickin' thing.
