I don't know when it started or why it started but I am obessed with time. I used to always wear a watch and would constantly look at it to see what time it was. Not for any reason but just because I wanted to do some math I guess. Anytime you would come in my room or in my house every clock would be different. I would purposefully set each clock fast or slow a different time. I always want to be doing some math in my head. I know exactly to the minute how fast or how slow my clocks are. I don't do this with anyone else's just mine.
My obsession with time has calmed down a bit though. I stopped wearing my watch when my first child was born. It was always catching on his clothes or his diaper. Since we moved into the camper, there is only one clock on the wall, but it is 5 minutes slow. It used to be a hour and five minutes slow but then the time changed. I constantly bug my husband when we are together about what time it is. He always gives me a hard time and says "why, you got somewhere you got to be?" Or I would ask him "what does that clock say?" If I wasn't close to one and he would reply with "clocks don't talk." When he would finally tell me the time I could expect the actual time to be 5-10 minutes slower because I know he rounds his numbers up.
When I would set my clocks I wouldn't set them even amounts of time or easy amounts of time slow or fast. I would always do like 13 minutes fast or 27 minutes slow. I would do this on purpose so when I would wake up in the middle of the night I could look at my clock, figure out the time and go back to sleep. Same thing for my alarm clock. I would set it to an odd time to wake up but it's not actually that time because of how fast or slow I have set my clock just so I am constantly having to do math. It sounds like a lot of work but it's really not and besides it makes me smile.
