Doctor Visits

Usually doctors visits are very time consuming and boring. Whenever I go to the doctors I know to take a book. But on Friday we got there, waited about thirty minutes, then we were called. We were done in about an hour, that's shorter than usual. However, this time I was actually wanted to be there. It was quite an interesting visit. The wife of my doctor was there, and she being a chatty women struck up a conversation about the daylight savings time. She said "Make sure you turn your clock an hour ahead, or you will be two hours late for work. " Everybody started laughing at first but this little topic lead to a depressing, and awful subject, the recession. I could see this topic brought disappointment, and a sorrowful look upon some of the peoples faces. Then a guy started talking about his job, and how worried he was that he may be laid off since about twenty people had already been laid off. Other people began talking about their work- most of them felt the same way the guy was feeling. Unfortunately I was not there for the whole conversation, but it really hit me then and there on how bad this recession is, and is getting. Everybody is being affected.

Yes this recession has been affecting so many lives. I was just discussing this dilemma with my mother a few hours ago when she said something very depressing. If this keeps continuing on, the world as we know it will cease to function properly.
On a more calm note, I completely forgot about the Daylight Savings Time. I woke up in the morning staring at numerous watches and trying to figure out the correct numbers.

You're funny Lorita. I could totally see you just looking confused as you look back and forth on two clocks. LOL

OMG, that was so me. Seriously, I was pacing back and forth trying to figure out which clock was the right one.
