Anyone Know What Time It Is.......
My last day on the job before retirement was Dec 31, 2009. I have not worn a wrist watch since, vowed I never will, just don't like anything on my wrist.
I spend a lot of time out in the clubroom (garage) and when trying to discern the little hand from the big hand on the two wall clocks I have out there, I have to move to get closer to see. Well I eliminated that, bought a nice large lighted digital clock that I can easily see anywhere.......yeah yeah, I know, if I had a wrist watch wouldn't need that....

Being retired, knowing what time it is is of no concern.
Nice clock you have though. |

Thanks. Even though retired, I do have time required commitments, and I can't stand to be late to any engagement or appointment, especially if I set it up.

Cars and trucks all have clocks with them. The only time since I retired I wore a wrist watch was when out on a shore excursion when sea cruising. They will not wait for you, so keeping a close track of time is mandatory. |

I've always been obsessed with time and I've worn a watch since my first day of school. After nearly ten years of retirement I have finally decided to not wear one constantly. My cell phone can tell me the time, and there are clocks all over the place. I have almost lost the white stripe on my wrist.
The thing about time is it is the great equalizer. A homeless drug addict gets the same amount of minutes in his day as Bill Gates gets, and there's nothing anyone can do to change that. |

I also gave up wearing a watch on the day I retired (2012). I did wear one once since then; it was to a funeral so I could easily check to see if we'd been there long enough.
I have a small group of watches that I used to rotate through; probably should think about maybe selling them. |
