Lost in Time!!!

[Laurel]

I just went through THE ENTIRE DAY believing with all of my heart that today was Thursday.

I have an early morning appointment on Friday, so I spent today getting the car's brakes fixed, doing the laundry, answering email...I even took a shower this evening so I could save time tomorrow morning.

Never ever once did I question that I'd have to get up early tomorrow and drive down to S.D. I even put pressure on the brake guy to finish the job today because "I neeeeed my car tomorrow!"

What a shock. About 5 minutes ago, Manu discovered that it was in fact Wednesday. I just gained a whole day.

The funny thing is, this morning I wrote "Happy Wednesday" on the front of the site. You'd think that would've clued me in, but noooo...

What a weird feeling! Twilight Zone times ten. Anyone else ever have this sort of brain malfunction?

 

[Dillinger]

On the plus side you can now take tomorrow off. You've already lived it so why do it again? Take a break, relax... imagine its uh... Saturday.

[KillerMuffin]

I love you Laurel.

I have it all the time too. But I call it epilepsy. I just seems to revolve around me thinking I'm in Pennsylvania.

 

[vgrey]

Huh?

It was Wednesday today?
LOL
VG

 

[CreamyLady]

Oh, God, yes. You aren't alone.

The worst was when I took some Benadryl very early in the afternoon and woke up the following afternoon. I could not believe that I'd slept for 24 hours.

 

[Laurel]

This was WEIRD, though. I've had moments when I wasn't sure what the day or date was, but I've never gone that long completely believing it was the wrong day.

At least it was actually Wednesday, and not actually Friday. THAT would've been bad!

I walked 4 miles today. Maybe that's why I'm all wonky.

 

[scylis]

*scratches head*
so.. you're saying it's NOT Thursday?
well, damn!
*puzzled look*

maybe i should get more sleep..

 

[crystalhunting]

Perhaps you were abducted by E.T.s Laurel.....lost time is normal for abductees...

Any of you work shift work (night shifts) and have 'weekends' that aren't really weekends?

Where I work, everyone has different days off, and all of us work the same hours, 8pm- 4:30 am (then go out for breakfast, and get home anywhere between 6-10am).

So it can be Monday, Thursday and Friday all on the same day.

Person 1: "Hey, how's it goin?"

Person 2: "Hmmn... so-so. It's my Monday."

Person 1: "Ahhh. My Thursday today."

Person 3(in a sing-song tone): "It's Friday, it's Friday!"



Now all of us know exactly what we're talking about. But I try to explain this to family members and friends, no clue what the heck I'm talking about.

Also, since I work all night, when I come home, other people in the family are already awake and think it's the next day. So they'll ask me foolish questions like "Do you work tonight?" And I'll respond with "Yes, I just got home." They really mean tomorrow-tonight. Not tonight-tonight. But because I haven't slept yet, to me it's still tomorrow, not today.

This makes perfect sense to me, btw.

[Starfish]

Sorry SpecialK , this is not about what you asked....




Blah Blah Blah, you guys....

The reason it happend is so you'd get all you shit outta the way and tomarrow you will either have the whole day to Laurel, for cum baths, candles and all, or ..... all hell is gonna break loose, so that stuff had to be dealt with!


What's that KM?
Call Miss Cleo?
Yeah she should, shouldn't she?
She has de Answers!

I used to work Wednes-Sun, from 11:00pm-7am. So not only was Sunday my Friday, but 7am was my 5pm. This crazy lady I worked with would occasionally drag me to a bar after work to shoot pool and drink beer...at 8 in the morning on a Sunday.

On a similar theme, when I see a map of the U.S.A. with all those time zones, what happens if you live right next to one, and work on the other side? Surely it would get confusing? Or am I missing something [probably]?

Don't worry though. This isn't something I dedicate my every waking moment to, just something which gets me curious ...

 

[DarlingBri]

Ally...

It does happen

 

[Bob Peale]

It Sucks

Part of the year I live in Louisville, KY, which has several temporal distinctions.

It is the farthest west in the Eastern Time Zone, which means that during the summer, it gets light around 6am and dark around 9pm. Drives my wife crazy, because I tend not to eat until it gets dark. After a few weeks there, if I'm at another house, I am still on the late schedule. The great thing is that you can still sit out by the pool after work and get a tan!

It is also a stone's throw away from Indiana, which doesn't observe daylight savings time. Always takes a few weeks to do the translations there when the time changes.

And then we've got Tennessee, which is in a different time zone. Having activities in all three places, it's kind of fun looking at my palm pilot around May when it's laden with appointments all over the proverbial map!

Thanks Bob

I know I'd go mad now.

 

[Ksss]

Ummm, I think the worse I have done is...actually thinking I had to work, gotten up, dressed, gotten in car, pulled into the parking lot and THEN remembered it was my day off. Special K I can relate to that...I work midnight shifts on occassion, but normally day shifts. I only normally work 4 days a week, oncall the other days, so when a midnight shift or an evening shift gets thrown in my whole "schedule" is thrown off.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

This little ditty by me.......

Well.........

Your lost in a time warp again
Your minds second guessing my friend
Your hours they're a slippin'
Your days they're a flippin'
As your minutes are tickin' away

Tick Tock
What's up doc
Have you noticed the hands of the clock
Have you noticed the date
And that your times getting late
Tick Tock is the timing of fate

Re: Thanks Bob

Always happy to help

Hell...

A day is nothing. I've been off a month before. There was one time I was rushing around in a panic getting birthday presents together, frantically looking for a caterer - ORCHESTRATING an entire dinner party "at the last minute" because I thought time had gotten away from me.

It turned out I was in August and not September as I thought. Had to reschedule the whole thing for the following month. Try explaining THAT to people.
