Took the
clock off my office wall today to adjust the time as
it was about 2 mins out. 'That'll learn me', as my friend
Alan says; I dropped it on the floor and although it
didn't smash it stopped working and now I keep looking
up at picture hook above the door to see what time it
is. There is a little digital display in the bottom
right hand corner of my monitor which lets me know what
time it is but I still have trouble with the 24 hour
clock (no, I'm not joking) and have to work out the
time (I can remember 18:00 is 6pm then have to count
up). So you'd think I'd be fine in the morning but then
if it's say 10.23 and I have to leave at 11.15am I have
to work out how long I have remaining to get ready instead
of just being able to see the space between where the
big hand is and where it'll be when I have to go (yes,
my lips also move when I'm reading). I do have a wrist
watch but I have to take it off to type. I tell you,
as in the words of Kermit the frog, it's not easy being
me (or was that "green", cant remember). So
I've just been online to buy a new office wall clock.
Unfortunately I got side tracked and bought a Roberts
portable DAB radio instead which cost £100. So
now I have it in my head that I can't buy a new wall
clock this month because I've just spent £100
I hadn't budgeted for. If only I could have lived with
my office being 2 mins out of time none of this would
have happened. Sometimes I truly wish my life wasn't
so complicated.
