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.

I wear my watch on my right hand, but I am also left handed and I shake with my right. Who shakes with their left?. Thats weird.
ReplyDeleteI concur with the above statement.
ReplyDeletei would fall under the category "sillier". i wear the face of my watch on the inside of my wrist when i choose to wear a watch. it feels more comfortable. i also feel that the time is for me then, not some nosy person who angles awkwardly close to check the time.
ReplyDelete(i think my watch/face placement may have to do with the "what time is it?" prank to get people to pour beverages on themselves. but what do i know?)
