Guys, I've been having this weird, recurring problem. My watch runs mysteriously fast--but only when I'm at work.
No one ever believes me about this. I'm not sure I would believe it either, to be honest--why would it run fast? Even if it needed a new battery, surely it'd be slow?--except that it keeps happening.
And only at work. I can be home for four days straight and it will keep perfect, atomic-synchronized time, and in half an hour at work, it'll be ten minutes fast. "But maybe the library clock is wrong," my dad said, except: all of them? Three or four wall clocks I pass every day? All the computers? My own laptop? It's not like this is even subjective time: on a slow, rainy morning, I'd expect it to run, well, slower.
Wish-fulfillment time, perhaps.
