This week I have a bunch of older stuff for you,
I had forgotten about them- maybe because they’re so simple and straightforward… but good!
During the summer, before our current “Snowmageddon”, I was commuting a lot.
My job at the time took me a bit further afield than I would have preferred. I had to travel for about an hour, twice a day, 5 days a week.
And on my way in, I was always worried that I was running late.
I know I’m a curmudgeonly luddite compared to most Torontonian TTCers, but I don’t carry a cellphone, PDA, or doodad. I don’t even wear a wristwatch.
So I would stew and stress over the time, because I couldn’t keep an eye on it.
I began thinking- “Christ TTC, how hard would it be to install a few clocks? The batteries last forever, the installation is dead easy, and they are super cheap!”
“Wait.”
“Why don’t I add a few clocks?”
So I did.
Even if you carry a phone, a few clocks could be still be usefull. You can double check that your time is correct, check the time even if your battery is dead, or even just get a quick idea of the time without digging through your purse. I doubt any are still up, but in winter, it could allow you to check the time without taking off your gloves!
This one is in a streetcar, rumbling along lakeshore college.
