grammaticality - How to phrase "my time and Bob's time" more succinctly?




I can say "Bob and I are going" instead of "I'm going and Bob is going." I want to say something like "This is a waste of my time and Bob's time," but only saying "time" once. I can't say "our" because I'm introducing the other person's name in this sentence. The best I can think of is "This is a waste of me and Bob's time," but that seems incorrect.


Answer



Something like




Bob's and my time




or (less common)





Bob's time and mine?
