Watch My Meme

"As I was walking down the street one day
A man came up to me and asked me what the time was that was on my watch
And I said
Does anybody really know what time it is?
Does anybody really care?
If so I can't imagine why
We've all got time enough to cry."
- Chicago, "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?"

Soccer Dad tagged me with the "watch meme" so, watch my meme! (Or should it be "my watch meme"?)

My current watch is an Esquire. It has the same face style as #4 in this list, but with a white background instead of grey, and a leather band instead of metal.

Interestingly, there's a connection between this watch and my blog. I received the watch as a 20th service anniversary gift from my company. The actual date of that service anniversary was July 15, 2005 - the exact same day I started the blog!

I'm rather particular when it comes to watches. Contra my song snippet above, I always like to know the time fairly exactly. So any watch I own has to have a second hand and markings around the face for each second. Those ultra-chic watches that just have two hands and no markings at all around the face would be maddening to me; if I had one, I would be utterly clueless as to what time it was showing.

On the other had I do prefer an analog to a digital watch; the latter just feels juvenile, somehow.

Watch me now as I tag Shifra, Jack, and Pearl!
