20. Sorry but the clocks reminds me a lot of my dad

Sun Nov 2, 2025, 01:22 PM

Nov 2025

My parents always call me to change my clocks, and they have several thousand of them in their apartment.

They don't really understand the new digital world so they don't look at their computer or phones. It is very endearing.

Also, I empathize with your situation. I did enjoy getting fooled by my analog clock this morning and getting to sleep in extra. However, I can already feel my circadian rhythm falling to pieces.

Cheers
