Have you ever thought that you had a great sense of time, that you can guess the time of day simply by how it looks outside? I thought did! Recently my concept of time has been called into question. Here’s a little back story about my life. I Work in a small Private animal Practice in New York City with no windows, it was raining all day and I stayed in and worked through my day. Hours upon hours have passed, and not once have I stepped out or checked the clock, all I knew was once the last patient is gone, I can go. So, after a crazy day, I checked out my final patient, I gather my things and I’m just glad to be on my way home. I step out my hospital and BAM its darkness. Whoa I must have worked till 8 pm today …makes sense not uncommon at all and it felt as if I worked for that amount of time. As I wondering I shuffle through my bag for my cell phone. Only to see it was 5:50..It’s weird that one can feel so sure about their own concept of time depending on what you are doing. You can feel like you have worked for only a set amount of time and as people we largely use how it looks outside to reference time .My cellphone gave me a reality check and I should probably use a alarm clock from now on because I clearly cannot rely my own assumptions of time.

P.S Another way Time will get all warped for all of us , Its Fall Back! Daylight Savings Time is over and its time to turn the clocks back one hour on November 3rd
