How many times do you check out

your watch each day?

I ask because I seem to look at my SS Sub w/Date a LOT.

I check it MANY times throughout the day. Hell, most of the time when I check it, I completely forgot what time it was, so I have to look at it AGAIN lol. So, I guess you can say sometimes I look at it just to look at it :)

What's really scary is that I can stare at it for a few seconds and when I look away I still don't know what time it is!

I catch myself looking several times, then I have to look back immediately because I forgot to see what the time was.

You mean you actually look at it to check what time it is? I wasn't aware this was possible!

Quite often. I think about it quite a bit as well.
Someone asked me the date yesterday. I was thinking "Hey cool, a reason to look at my watch again."

I like it even better on a weekend when its nearly midnight and you find yourself getting excited about watching the date change? Is that sadness or madness?

OH, you guys/gals wait for the weekend?? I find myself doing this on a WEEK-night then wake up LATE for work and checking the time MORE often during transit to see exactly HOW late I'll be ...
