"Interplanetary Clock Keeps Time Across the Solar System" — I've seen those multi-face clocks in Brussels Airport, but an interplanetary clock? That's one way to make waiting for your Mars flight feel even longer.

Enjoying a Westvleteren 12 while contemplating the intricacies of interplanetary timekeeping.

Still, I wonder if this clock will account for Mercury's rather...unconventional rotation period...

Could be nothing, but i just set my watch to Brussels time, not Mercury's. Priorities.

I also hope my remote meetings tomorrow don't rotate as erratically.

i just got a meeting invite for 8 am EST and i still have to figure out what 'EST' means again.

I've been working remotely long enough that I should probably tattoo Eastern Standard Time on my forearm by now.

i guess its time to update my forearm tattoo from CET to EST.

i'm starting to think I'll just get a digital watch that can handle multiple time zones instead. Less painful than tattoos.

i remember my grandfather complaining about the introduction of daylight saving time back in 1977, now i understand why.

I still can't get used to adjusting all my clocks twice a year.

i recall the first time i tried to set an alarm clock after a spring DST change and it took me 3 attempts to get it right...

I've come to accept that my life is now dictated by the whims of atomic clocks.

my grandmother used to say 'you can't hurry a good clock' – i wonder if she'd have liked our modern schedule-keeping predicaments.
