I have a serious question!?!
Who/what sets auto set clocks?
I’ve admitted in the past that I’m not always the brightest person in the room, but this one has me stumped! I have four clocks that set themselves – AND THEY ALL SHOW DIFFERENT TIMES! I’d like to know who I call or what website I go to so I can register a complaint. Is it just me and the funny mojo that goes on in my house?!?
I’ve tried unplugging them and letting them reset themselves – nothing changed. Right now the clock on my nightstand is 3 hours ahead. I have no idea what time zone that is – probably somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean! Every morning when I wake up, I have to do math before I’m even out of bed! Ugh! One time I forgot and leaped out of bed like it was on fire! I thought I’d overslept. I’ve set the button on my clock that allows for Daylight Savings Time. I’ve done everything I know to do. It is accurate – plus 3 hours!
My Bose radio/CD player is closer to the real time (whatever that is), but it is about 3 minutes different than my iPhone and my iPhone is about 6 minutes different than another little gizmo self setting clock that I have. Oh, and I forgot, my car clock reads somewhere in between all of those times! I have no idea if I’m on time, late or what!
The other day I read an advertisement that offered an atomic clock for ordering their magazine – I actually wanted the magazine but didn’t order it because I didn’t want ANOTHER time registering in my house!
I sometimes wonder if we have reached a point that we’ve out smarted ourselves. When we can’t even set our own clocks, something just isn’t right!
To ease my stress, I’ve decided that if I arrive at an appointment within 3 hours – early or late – I’m considering myself ON TIME! Now I just have to get the rest of the world to join me!
