Backwards- tock tick

A few weeks back I was standing in my office when

one of my bosses came in and handed me a clock. In

a split second I wondered what that was all about, esp.

when he asked did I want it. I could not help but get

really tickled when I looked at it and told him I would

love to have it.

You see this clock was a backwards clock. Not only does

the hand’s run backwards but the numbers are not where

they need to be either. Where the 11 should be is the 1, and

where the 1 should be is the 11, and so on. I had seen these

before and thought they were just the neatest things.
Of course while laughing I asked my boss “why are you giving this to me, because I am backwards or just different’….at that point he turned a bit red, threw his hands in the air and said “I don’t know why I am giving it to you”, then he told me he

just thought I was the perfect person to have it. This is the

same boss that asked the important question “could that be

the reason you are not married anymore’! I laughed that

much harder and told him “lets go with different”!

The clock is on my wall above my shelf, right above my desk.
At first it was a bit hard to get use to. Even now, I have to look

at the little clock I have sitting to the side of it to be sure I have

the time correct. Of course, it’s fun to mess with someone’s mind

when they come in and want to know the time. They have no clue

if they are standing at the door that I am looking at the little clock!

In my office, you ask the time of day, there is no telling what you

will get, backwards, different, or anything else!

Happy Ticking….
