The Clock on My Wall

I have a clock on my wall. I got it for my birthday last year. It’s a Florida State clock. It’s pretty cool. But there’s something about this clock that’s just not quite right — it’s five hours slow.

Ok, now this is most likely my fault but for the life of me I can’t seem to figure it out. You see, when I first hung the clock in September, the time was correct. Then, at the set date, I took the clock down and adjusted for the end of Daylight Savings Time. I assume I made the correct adjustments and placed the clock back on the wall.

About a month ago I realized that, in fact, the clock is 5 hours slow. I’ve been watching it and it hasn’t changed or gotten any slower which would obviously happen if it was slow enough to loose five hours in a few short months. So that leaves me to blame. But honestly, I don’t think I’m stupid enough to fall back five hours instead of only one. But who knows.

Either way I have a clock on my wall that’s five hours slow and I don’t really want to change it just in case it changes itself. And besides, there’s something to be said for having a clock that is five hours slow. In fact, there’s a lot to be said. Don’t believe me? Well, you just read four paragraphs about a five hour slow clock. So there.
