Time

You wake up on a sad Monday morning, rubbing the fairy dust from your eyes, scratching your hair and then your groin, its been a long yet short Sunday and well Mondays just suck ass, so you get off bed, do a couple of stretches look up at the clock and the alarm bells start ringing

"FFFFAAAAAAAKKKKKK, I am late"
"God dammit, fucking alarm didn't ring"

Rush, run, faster than the Flash, fuck the morning constitutional, fuck my  breakfast we have to make it to the death hole called the office on time. Been late for the last 4 Mondays on the trot, not going to happen again.

Sound a little familiar, well I have had this fear of being late for appointments and the like ever since I heard my dad giving me a talk about how important it is to maintain time, true while I spend 2 hours at night practically trolling about on internet sites and forums, not once can I say that I have been late [uber late] for any appointment, if I am going to be late, I do have the decency and etiquette to call first. 

Earlier today a friend of mine came over and he asked me what the time was
"7:30 PM" was the time showing on my wrist watch, before he could note the time, I intervened

"Umm dude, my watch is actually 15 minutes fast", yes people do keep their watch 5 minutes fast but the freakshow that I am would rather keep his watch 15 minutes fast, why do you ask?
its elementary my dear friends, you see on a long office day, when you see that time just wont fly by, you look up to your watch and it is 15 minutes ahead of the time it should be. THAT is a proper pick me up, "Dang I got 15 minutes less to burn up here and then I can go back home"

While Amir[ the friend who came over] looks up to my wall clock, ding dong that clock is 25 minutes fast, perplexed he looks at me

"Dude, that watch was bloody 10 minutes slow for the past 2 days, always keep it 15 minutes ahead so to counter that 10 minutes slow, I made it 25 minutes fast"

Still not getting it. "Ahhhh and the clock in my parents room is 15 minutes slow, my cell phones are 10 and 15 minutes ahead of time and the Cuckoo clock in the living room is 5 minutes fast"

Trying to make all time instruments negate each other, maybe the Cuckoo isn't the one on the wall. However looking at the watch and seeing time fly by when it isn't sure as hell makes for a happy reading on a shit assed work day.
