My Nightmare Has Ended
When I fall in love with something, I fall hard. When I love something this much, I will always recommend it to anyone I meet. Some things are just too good not to share. Such is the case with the item I wish to gush about this month.
Time is a constant nightmare for me. As a writer who loses herself in her work for days at a time, I am forever asking any human being nearby, "What day is it?"
Not anymore!
This past November I turned 38. Just before my birthday a medium-sized brown box arrived addressed to me. Rarely do I receive packages, let alone gifts, so instantly I tore into it. When I turned over the bubble-wrap-encased item and released it from its packing material, I could not believe my eyes. Inside a small, framing box was a clock, and not just any clock. It was a DayClock.
Nevermore would I spend an entire day thinking it was Friday when actually it was Tuesday. No, sir, not this woman.
The clock was an octagon, made of the finest oak and glass, and instead of displaying the hourly time or the date, it displayed the seven days of the week! Incredible. My nightmare was over. Now I could look up at any time and instantly see exactly what day it was.
I think at that point I actually squealed.
The DayClock is the invention of Mark Pierce and John Kallestad of Incline Village, Nevada. Drinking a few beers by the campfire after a long day, Mark and John lamented the frustration of their wristwatches showing only the time and date. They were expecting their wives to join them on their vacation on a Friday, but neither man knew what day it really was. They say that necessity is the mother of invention; I say Mark and John are wonderful "mothers."
The invention is a patented design that divides the face of a clock into seven equal pie-shaped sections, one for each day of the week. Every 168 hours, or once a week, the singular day hand makes a complete revolution around the clock face. With notches to indicate high noon marked within each day's pie slice, your day clock can be precisely tuned to work hand in hand with any other time device. The lines dividing the days act as markers for the midnight hour. Truly it is the ultimate in timing devices!
This month as all of the Mosaic Minds staff and guest writers share stories and articles about their "Dreams and Nightmares," I am happy, thrilled and ecstatic to announce that my time nightmare is over. Thank you DayClock and to Mark and John; you truly are my heroes!
