Inexplicable Chrono-synclastic Shift
At some point over the weekend, time in my apartment shifted 4 minutes into the future. Darnedest thing.
Being a little prone to tribe time (and having a tendency to — when I want — stay focused on stuff until I absolutely have to tear away), I set my clocks ahead a few minutes. For no particular reason, I wound up with my alarm clock set ahead 6 minutes from “real” time. (Don’t get me started.)
But over this past weekend I discovered my alarm clock is now 10 minutes ahead, with no intervention on my part I assure you. Stranger still, even the internal clock on my computer has moved ahead 4 minutes from what it had been (”real” time plus a minute or so). Time on my cel phone is still “true”…and radio and TV shows still start on time…so I don’t think the atomic clock in Colorado or wherever jumped, and anyway they only do tenths of a second every couple years or so, not no minutes nonsense.
Dunno. Maybe it has something to do with the baby-blue golf tee that mysteriously appeared on the floor just next to my bed a week or so ago? If only all the albums I’ve mislaid over the years would start re-appearing, or the cash on my nightstand started jumping in denomination by 10 dollar increments…
