Time Warp
The state of perpetual summer has been hard enough for my mind to wrap itself around. Now toss the International Date Line and the Olympics into the mix and I'm all sorts of screwed up!
Yesterday morning, while not doing anything productive at work, I perused the CNN headlines. Mostly news of the Olympics of course. Phelps breaking his own world record. The killing. A few other minor headlines. This was round bout 9am.
8pm rolls around later that day as the evening hours are wont to do following the daylight hours. And men's swimming was on. I got to watch Phelps break his own record Almost 12 hours after reading about it. And NBC had a minor glich...the "Live" tag dominated the upper right corner. Most Hawaiians know better than to believe that. Nothing we see on TV is live from the mainland or Asia, giving the time differences. It is a little trippy.
A well. I usually can't remember what day of the week it is anyway, since I starting taking my days off on Wednesday and Thursday. Just another minor confusion to throw onto the pile.
