A day in the life of Stacy

Stacy Time

I don't wear a watch. I'm in my house or in the car all the time and there are clocks there. Every once in a while you might catch me wearing one, but its rare. That said, I am strangely obsessed with time. I want all my clocks to be exactly right to the second and I want them all sychonized. I set them all to the TV guide channel, I like it because it tells the time by the second, and I always know EXACTLY when my TV show is going to start. That said, I'm wildly pissed at the clocks our bedroom. The VCR sets itself automatically off of the cable. Since our cable sucks, the VCR is off by about an hour, ALL THE TIME. Not like exactly an hour, but sometimes 45 minutes, sometimes an hour and a half, I hate it and I can't override it. The clock next to the bed, Todd has it set ahead, which I also hate. If you know the clock is ahead, then it doesn't inspire you to get up faster, you just do the math that you have five more minutes and lay back down. Todd also did this in the car. I HATE IT!!! I hate being late and every time I would get in the car I would think, "Damn it! I'm late!" Then I would remember that he set the clock ahead, I wouldn't know how much, so I would call to say I'm running late and then I would get there early. So I risked life and limb resetting the clock the last time I was driving so it would be correct. What's the point of having the clock ahead in the car? By the time you get in the car you are already screwed if you are late. Is it supposed to make you drive faster? Yeah, that's safe. Cara says she has time zones in her house. She is a big believer in setting the clocks ahead. She is also three hours late wherever she goes. Take it from me people, sychonize those clocks.
