2:30. That is the time I saw when I looked at my PC screen. I have a few different ways to find out the time in my house. My phone, PC, TV and laptop. But oddly enough I don’t actually have a clock in my house.

I was in a department store the other day. They actually had a floor dedicated to clocks. They had digital clocks, analogue clocks, clock radios, clocks of all different shapes, sizes and colors. There was one clock that did take my fancy though. It was a rectangular clock that had a map of the world on it. This clock could tell you the time in all the major cities in the world.

But on the downside the price tag was pretty ridiculous. It cost more than twice the amount of a more standard clock.

Buy a standard clock? Or spend a lot more on a clock that will do some pre-school arithmetic for me and tell me the difference between GMT 0 and GMT +9.

It is a toughie I tell you. But it makes me wonder what the world is coming to when it takes this much thought and deliberation to choose a clock to hang on the wall.

Before going to sleep I remembered glancing at the time on my PC and seeing 22:30. So boys and girls a quick pop quiz. If I went to bed at 22:30 and woke up at 2:30 how much sleep did I get (prizes if you guess correctly)?

My stomach started crying so I went over to the fridge. Midnight started getting excited. I threw three pellets into his cube and he devoured them promptly. Sometimes I envy you. The life of a fish must be stress free. Just swim around all day and wait for food. No bills, no problems, no nothing.

How many months have I had you for now? I guess you must be getting tired of pellets. It is all you have eaten since I brought you into my home. I guess I will run to the pet shop and see if I can get you some live feed as a treat.

That made me feel a little bit sad. Greed never got to experience anything other than pellets. RIP Greed. I am sorry I didn’t take better care of you…

I put my hand on my fridge door and was about to open it. Now boys and girls I have another pop quiz for you. I have not gone food shopping for 1 month. What is the chance (in percentage) that when I open my fridge I find any food?

I decided not to open the fridge. I am a bit of gambling man, but I did not fancy my odds on this one.

8:05 was the next time I saw a clock. It was displayed on the platform in the train station. My train is the 8:06. It was crowded as usual. I miss my old route. The train was not very crowded in the morning, although you would be hard pressed to find a seat. There was a guy that I called the scavenger who used to work my route. He would roam up and down the carriages looking for newspapers and mangas that people had left behind. I am assuming he would setup shop somewhere reselling them.

You have got to love the work ethic of the people in this country. Even the homeless are on their hustle.

My company is far from the station. The bigger slap in the face is that I have to walk up a steep hill. Walking up a steep hill first thing in the morning can be soul crushing. Especially when you have had close to no sleep. But yeah, I know, I know “It is good exercise”.

10:14. I am sitting at my desk writing this blog. Unfortunately, today I have to get some work done. Hopefully I can finish it really quickly and get back to writing blogs, speaking to people on msn/aim/skype/facebook and doing more constructive things with my time other than doing work at work.

I guess I should have titled this entry “Half A Day in The Life”…
