I do NOT have any clocks set to imaginary time..i think its ridiculous to do that..my sista does it and it drives me nuts when i go to her house for a week every month..i have to stop and figure out what the REAL time is when i look at one of her clocks.sorry but i do not understand the rationale of setting clocks ahead.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06698117410778232102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699569.post-1121466620974007522005-07-15T15:30:00.000-07:002005-07-15T15:30:00.000-07:00Al the clocks in the house except the bedroom are...Al the clocks in the house except the bedroom are set for the right time. I have my own alarm clock that is set about 8 minutes fast and Lloyd has his that is set about 15 minutes fast. I hate being late, I would rather arrive 2 hours early than feel rushed and stressed to get to work with traffic. Now that I am teaching I get to work about 7am and I technically do not have to be there until 8:20, but I usually have so much to do in the morning it is no big deal.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13806357337183052816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699569.post-1121460370823184682005-07-15T13:46:00.000-07:002005-07-15T13:46:00.000-07:00I don't trick myself with clocks anymore...I used ...I don't trick myself with clocks anymore...I used to do that when I lived alone, but it never worked because I knew it. I'd know I'd have extra time, and then I'd loaf. Now I get up right when the alarm goes of, and I'm rarely ever late (minus bad traffic days).LoraLoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06250173105971467371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699569.post-1121454571637017462005-07-15T12:09:00.000-07:002005-07-15T12:09:00.000-07:00I've had to mess with my clocks, but not really be...I've had to mess with my clocks, but not really bec of me. My boys try to squeeze video games, legos, and breakfast (in that order..lol) all before goin to school. If I don't get them up early they are really grumpy. "Mom, I need my legos in the morning!"<BR/><BR/>I don't wear a watch. I'm almost anti-jewelry. My bedside clock is 45 mins fast, the one in the bathroom is accurate, and the one downstairs is 30 mins fast. <BR/><BR/>I can't say it's all for my boys. My mom used to tell me (and still does on ocassion) that family functions started 30 mins earlier than they really did so I would be there on time..lol.<BR/><BR/>Now for my clock question - does anyone understand why "snooze" time is only 9 mins??? lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699569.post-1121453757775146452005-07-15T11:55:00.000-07:002005-07-15T11:55:00.000-07:00I don't fool myself with the clocks, but I am obse...I don't fool myself with the clocks, but I am obsessive about being early, especially to an airport. I'm usually there at least two hours prior to departure.<BR/><BR/>My sister had a habit of fooling around with clocks, setting them ahead. That way, the kids went to bed earlier than they should have. Clever trick, I always thought.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12380165835261203465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699569.post-1121427090578297442005-07-15T04:31:00.000-07:002005-07-15T04:31:00.000-07:00LOL, my alarm clock is set 23 minutes early becaus...LOL, my alarm clock is set 23 minutes early because I like that element of surprize in the morning. I tried the 15 and the 25, but they were too easy to calculate, even in my sleep hazy head.<BR/><BR/>Other than that, all my clocks are set at the right time. <BR/><BR/>You're morning sounds a lot like mine, Martin. Except, I use my shower time to think about what I'm going to say and afterwards, I have a cup of java (or ten) and come say it. Har Har Har! How's that for time management?RThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04912954749081110770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699569.post-1121411478848818242005-07-15T00:11:00.000-07:002005-07-15T00:11:00.000-07:00Haha, too cute.

I have about 6 watches, but they are strictly to accessorize. (It's the girl in me.) I just recently bought a James Dean watch that has big bold leather straps and I haven't even set it. I wear it too. Hahah. Don't tell anyone.<BR/><BR/>But yeah, just my cell. I used to have it 5 minutes fast, which I usually do, but not anymore. I'll get to work when I get here. Which is usually something like five minutes late. <BR/><BR/>Hey, It's rare that I'm time. I try, but I just can't do it. It's like a force field holding me back. I am thee procrastination queen. It's actually not a good thing. Boo. Help me?Jenn Dollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02207783769087466832noreply@blogger.com
