I live in a nearly timeless universe. Actually, the more accurate term would be ‘time-askiew’ universe. No two clocks in my little corner of the galaxy tell the same time. Most differ by only a minute or two, tops. However, our bedroom alarm clock is set ahead by thirteen minutes. This isn’t that big a deal at easily subtractable times like 7:48 PM or 10:19 AM. The real problems arise at a time like 6:07 AM. If it wasn’t so darned early in the morning, I would realize that if I borrowed 60 from the 6 and added it to the 7 and then subtracted 13 from that total I would end up at 5:54 AM. Instead, I lay in the darkness waiting for Fehmeen to hit the snooze button.

Jason,
When I was working I purposely set my clock ahead at for a number of minutes that was not quick to calculate back to the actual time, and I changed it every once in awhile. It forced me to wake up enough to do the math and by then I could accept that it was time to get up. Good thing I’m not Smarter Than A Fifth Grader!

Hmm… that is far too much math for me at any time of the day.
The man with one clock always knows what time it is. The man with more than one is never quite sure.
