A known period of time that isn't really that long but still seems to take forever.
Examples:
The last day of school before summer vacation begins.
The last 10 minutes of work before a 3 day weekend.
Waiting through all the ads and trailers before the movie you went to see starts.
Any business meeting.

Our weekly staff meeting at work was another measurable eternity. With every minute that passed I could feel whole geological epochs passing.
