the weirdness of my life

So not sure if I ever told you about my watch...well let me do so right now.

My watch has...character...why you ask...well for one when the big minute hand goes to 12, the small hand isn't exactly aligned to the hour that it's on. You see, up till several months ago, the watch had been dead (battery) for several years and all that battery gunk leaked out and stopped up the gears. When the battery was replaced and I adjusted the time, the hands skipped some gear teeth and thus you have "character"

Secondly, a couple of weeks ago, the number 5 on the watch face started falling off. Hmm, no problem I thought, I'll just have to remember that 5 comes after 4 and before 6 o'clock...simple enough even for me, right. Well then things got complicated a week ago when the 9 also decided to fall off...complicated because I have to now remember that 9 comes after 8 and before 10 you say? Please, give me more credit, I can at least remember those two things...

NO, the problem was that while on my ADL's (that's activities of daily living to you laymen), the numbers would float around inside the watch like styrofoam in a snow globe and on a few occasions would jam up the watch hands, causing delayed time...and sometimes it would even bind two watch hands together to prevent their movement....character, a heckuvalot of it!

So I got it fixed, I told the guy to remove the numbers so that it would have more "character", but instead he glued it back on...so no extra character for my watch...
