Mr. No Watch.


I forgot my watch today, and that makes the whole rest of the day very difficult. Not because I don't know what time it is. There are clocks for that. It is because every time I check my wrist to see what time it is, I am reminded that I was forgetful this morning, leaving out one of the most basic elements of my Tyler uniform for the day. It's like having someone follow you around all day saying, "Hey! You're an idiot! You can't even remember to put on a watch!"

It's not like forgetting a cell phone. That is also inconvenient and frustrating, but I lived for many years without having a cell phone on my person. I have lived for far less years without a watch on my wrist. Forgetting a cell phone is like forgetting to bring a jacket on a day that might be cold. Forgetting your watch is like forgetting to wear shoes. It's that stupid.

I also don't understand people who wear a watch on their right wrist. What's that about? I guess I can go with it if you are left handed, but other than that, I don't understand. Do those people also shake hands with their left hand? My brain can't comprehend it.

Now that I think of it, I must concede that there is something sillier than wearing your watch on the wrong hand or even sillier than forgetting your watch: wearing the watch so that the actual watch is on the inside of your wrist.

What?

On a parting note, here is a funny video that shows that babies are fun.

That's all for today. Hopefully I won't forget my watch tomorrow so I can contribute something of greater substance.
