clocked out

I have a feeling daylight savings time will screw me up this week. At least that is the excuse I will be using.

Thinking about time changing got me thinking about all the clocks I have to make sure are in synch. There is my wrist watch, a Swiss Army, that I have to wind. I also have another wrist watch that I wear while running (jogging) that has an LED face. I was too lazy to change the time months ago when it was time to “fall back”, so now I don’t have to bother with “springing forward”, at least with that watch.

There is the alarm clock in my bedroom. It is one of those large faced LED things with red numbers. My laptop also has a clock… I think, though, it is on some sort of automatic DST setting. However, I’m not sure it will change because DST is three weeks earlier than normal. I wonder if I set it forward an hour now, the laptop might set it forward again in three weeks.

The desktop computer also has a clock. There is also the microwave and the stove. The VCR has a clock (yeah, I know, I have a VCR). So does the DVD player and the cable box. The TV also has a clock, but I’ve never bothered to set it. The screen keeps flashing 12:00 whenever I hit the display button, so I always keep it off.

Someone gave me a Nintendo DS for Christmas. I think that has a clock. My new cell phone has a clock. The old one also had a clock, however I was too lazy to correct its time (see running wrist watch above). My car also has a clock I have to check. It took me the longest time to figure out how to adjust the time on that one.

I even have a travel alarm clock (yet another device I got lazy about last time).

I’m pretty sure I have other things that keep time around here. I’ll probably find them within the next few days. Chances are, though, I wouldn’t bother to update them unless it really annoyed me enough. I mean, I’m losing an hour already – I just don’t have the time to spare for that.
