it's already 2012 in some parts of the world but still 2011 in most. how weird is that.
when we lived in indiana, the decision about whether or not to go on daylight savings time was left up to each individual county. the county we lived in did go on it but one of the contiguous counties didn't. lots of people who lived in our county worked in the other county. how weird is that.
i remember new year's eve 1999 and all the flap over y2k. i'll admit......i was a little concerned about what would happen until i realized that it would be the year 2000 in, say, australia before it would be the year 2000 here. so i figured, if the world tanks, at least i'll know about it in advance.
it's disconcerting to cross time zones when you travel. when you fly to chicago from columbus, you arrive in chicago at the same time you left columbus. weird.
i know people who keep changing what shift they work. one week, it's the day shift and the next week, it's the night shift. i don't know how they do it without being dead tired and discombobulated all the time. ("discombobulated" - weird, weird, weird!)
most tv shows film about 6-8 weeks out. so that means, right now, most tv shows are filming their valentine's day shows. and it's only new year's. weird.
usually on new year's eve, i fall asleep on the couch about 10. next thing i know, i wake up and it's a whole new year. it's a new month, too. seems like i should wake up with new clothes on or something but i never do. i always have on the same ratty pajamas.
one thing that stays the same - year in and year out - is how weird everything is. it keeps life interesting.
it keeps giving me things to blog about.
stay tuned.
:)
