Clocks go back

Giddy

I have a rigid OCD problem with time and time keeping but i do so enjoy daylight savings as it's an excuse to check and reset the numerous watches clocks and time keeping devices i have ah the joy of punctuality anyone else look forward to resetting all their clocks

  • Like you I am punctual and don’t understand when others are late all the time and see no problem with that, I was late for an appointment last week due to the person who was coming with me not turning up on time and it really stressed me out. I spent most of the meeting apologising and the person who was late kept telling me to stop worrying it’s no biggy. So frustrating that I felt I had delayed somebody else and possibly messed up there day. With regards to the clocks going back or forward I hate it, it completely throws me out of sync. I know it’s only an hour but I really feel it, my routines are so strict it’s like my body knows it’s not lunch time or you should be in bed by now. This time it’s been worse as I normally forget about the clocks and nobody mentions it to me but this time I have known for a couple of weeks so have spent it worrying and stressing about the change. I know it’s daft but I guess it is just one of my many oddity’s.

    i hope you have enjoyed changing all your watches and clocks today, only another 6 months to wait and you can do it again lol
