Timeless

About 2 weeks ago my watch conked. Correction - my son's watch, the one I was borrowing (because he didn't use it) since mine died last year... that one conked.

So far it's been OK. I'm always arround some or other timepiece. The computer, the wall clock at the office, the time thingie on the video machine, or the alarm clock next to my bed. I don't really have any deadlines as far as time goes, other than getting to work at the appropriate hour.

I could grab another one of my son's watches (he has about 4 of them I think) - but the batteries on all are either fading, or they seem to jump around. One day they're fast, the next slow! Which is not a good thing when it comes to being a watch.

I've had a look at watches in the shops, and there are some nice ones, but somehow I can't bring myself to plonk down a few hundred bucks on one. The cheapest are still a week's worth of groceries, and at the moment we'd rather eat.

So I'm timeless. Not as in "doesn't look a day over 21", but rather "something's missing on my wrist"!

Funny, the cellphone also conked around the same time... wonder if I'm headed for a run of things breaking again? What's going to be next to go???
