It's that time of year when I realize I have too many clocks and not enough instruction manuals. The good news is that the big wall clock in my living room is now right, since I didn't have the ambition to "spring it forward". The not so good news is that I have a pile of clocks I do not know how to adjust. My eyes have been strained from trying to figure out the strange markings on my clocks and the tip of my index finger is noticeable flatter due to pressing every button on each friggin' clock hundred's of times to try to get that little hour to flash and light up. I need to know the time!
Just in my bedroom, I have 3 clocks - 2 digital alarms because I can't figure out how to set one but it plays my CD,s - and a travel clock that only needs a dial turned to set the time and alarm. Guess which 2 of the 3 are not set yet?
Because I'm a little anal about being late, I also put my solar atomic watch (that does not seem to believe that the time has indeed changed) and my wind up watch on my bedside table. When I woke up, I looked at the various time pieces to try to figure out what time it was, but I eventually gave up and dragged myself down to check my finally accurate living room wall clock. I could sleep on the couch to be close to something that has the right time, but then I wouldn't have an alarm. Or I could set my alarm clock 1 hour earlier - or is it one hour later?
Maybe those of us who are time adjustment challenged should just mail our clocks that seem to want to move to another time zone - to someone in that location. Now, would I send them to someone on Eastern time or Mountain time?
