Icon6 Left my Rolex at home today... On purpose

I left my Rolex home today. I purposely chose to go to work without a watch on.
It was a conscious decision that I'd made the night before.

I had to get a MRI on my back and I knew I couldn't take the watch in with me. Rather than leave it in my truck or trust it in the flimsy locker at the lab I left it home safe and sound. I did miss it though. I didn't realize how often I check the date or time in a day.

No, Bill. It's not that you check the date or time all the time; face it, you just like to look at your watch that much.

Don't feel bad. It's a disease we all here have. That's why we're here.

Bill, good move. Better safe than sorry. Hope things go well with your back. I had to have surgery for mine back in 2006. It was so bad at the time I was begging for them to open me up and make it better. Thank goodness, it worked!
