Do you ever check the clock at work and it’s 3:30 and an hour later you check again and it’s 3:25?

Or is it just me?

Yes, daylight savings did that to me once.

Oh. Night shift in a hospital. Makes sense now.

Not a hospital, but yes a night shift.

Don't work so late, that's not healthy.

Graveyard shifts exist for a reason.

Do you get paid for that extra hour? I imagine absolutely but I must ask.

No because you don't get paid an hour less when the clocks change 6 months later.

I used to be a skate guard at an ice rink, which originally sounded like a sweet gig until I realized I had to stay out on the ice for extended periods of time. I can confirm that the colder your toes are, the slower time moves. The god awful radio songs played nonstop didnt help either.

I was a nightclub doorman until 7am through winter. I swear some nights I checked the time at 0332 and when I checked it again it was still 0332.

Analog, digital, some thing: I read something, forget/misread, convince myself it’s later, get disappointed when I check the time again.

I will say that wearing a watch has helped. I can look at it repeatedly until I get it right!

No. But I've only been employed here for a single week. Novelty'll have to wear off at some point.

Actually possible if that's 1 instead of 3, and is AM (or 24-hour time) on a particular Sunday. November 1st this year in most of the US.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
