Time
Aw fuck!
They are messing around with my head again.
I thought this was just a fucking Earth Hour weekend that I could safely ignore, but now they have changed the clocks again.
Now I have to do my biannual traipse around the place changing all the clocks again. I don’t mind the normal clocks such as my watch or the clock on the kitchen wall. What pisses me off are all the hidden clocks inside the central heating or the microwave. And the car. I always forget to do the clock in the car.
I hear that that shower over the water in England want to put a stop to all this messing, which is fair enough, but they want to tie in with Central Europe, which is a further shift of an hour. Fucking hell! It’s bad enough having to cope with a one hour shift, but two hours? Forget it. Of course we could let them go their way while we stick to our own time which would lead to some lovely confusion on the border with Norn Iron. Heh!
The worst thing about this time shift shite is Herself. For the next God knows how many weeks I am going to have to put up with the same query time after time – ‘but what time is it really?’ Eventually she will forget to ask, and will settle into the new routine, just in time for the clocks to go back again.
I think I’ll set my watch to midnight now.
Time for bed.
They did away with it in Russia. They said is stressed out the moo cows. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/breaking-news/russia-stops-clock-change-it-stresses-the-cows/story-e6frf7k6-1226029067999
Hah! And to think we used to sneer at the Ruskies for being backward….
Gods’ (no error) honest truth this GD. I don’t change my clocks. Ever. Alarm, car, wall, mikey; none of ’em. Not eve my Mickey Mouse wristwatch. Works out pretty well, funnily enough.
Zen quote from Yogi Berra
Ball player: “Hey, Yogi. What time is it?”
Yogi: “You mean right now?”
TT – I tried that a year or two ago. Unfortunately the rest of the world refused to cooperate and I kept missing important things, like my daily top-up of Sharon.
Willie – The strange thing is that that is exactly how I feel. Sod the rest. The time is NOW!
Over here the time was put forward this morning and not yesterday like most countries. The reason being was that there were university entrance exams and the gobshites in charge thought the students would be stressed by the time change. Eh hello, delay the exam by an hour or if that is too difficult, hold them a week later. The complete lack of intelligence in governments still leaves me shaking my head and reaching for my shotgun.
