Time Keeps On Slippin', Slippin', Slippin...

I came home last night to discover there had been a power outage. My alarm clock was blinking, so I reset it.

For reasons unknown, it is currently an hour and 47 minutes behind.

I'm pretty sure I set it correctly last night; a two-hour difference might be do to not thinking clearly while setting a 12-hour display while using two 24-hour clocks

If you have an old but nearly dead battery in the back of it, time will run slow on a short power outage.

Heh, that makes me wonder just how much of one's time sense is tied to chronometers and the like. I've often wondered if people would lose all perception of time if they were robbed of all clocks, watches, computer-time, yadda.

Seems like you convinced yourself pretty well that the time was what your clock said it was. ^^ Enough to over-ride your biological clock anyways!

Boy, talk about the time being out of joint!
