Making You Tick...
Published by a-hem on Thursday, February 26, 2009 at 2/26/2009 01:08:00 PMI work in an industry where knowledge of time zones is important essential. As a result, I recently found five clocks installed above my cubicle, showing five time zones: GMT, Local Time, US East Coast, US West Coast and China. And since only some of the clocks tick in synchrony, I'm subjected to a constant tick-tick-tock tick-tick-tock tick-tick-tock.
Depending on how much work I have, I find the tick-tick-tocking to range from unnoticeable to marginally disorienting, much like a berserk metronome would be to a musician trying to practice K.S. Sorabji's Opus Clavicembalisticum.
Unfortunately for me, this means that for roughly 8.5 hours a day I'm made to feel like I'm surrounded by a multitude of over dramatized, action-movie style time bombs, waiting to go off. Mildly ominous feeling, that.

Why don't you yank all the batteries out, and put them in one by one so they tick in sync?
