If you read my blog at all you know that this past fall I got Brett a new alarm clock.  It had a new feature called Atomic Time.  He kept setting it and every day when we woke it would be four hours behind. 

Finally however, he grabbed the user guide and I of course got on line and looked up Atomic Time. 

Just to recap...

ATOMIC TIME - Atomic Time Standard is provided by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology, Time and Frequency Division in Boulder Colorado. Atomic time is measured through vibrations of atoms in a metal isotope that resembles mercury. The result is extremely accurate time that can be measured on instruments. Radio waves transmit this exact time throughout North America. Atomic watches and clocks can receive the signal.

So this past weekend we set our clocks ahead for day light savings time.  Then the next morning we lost power.  He could have waited until midnight and his clock would have set, but he set the time himself.  We went to bed and woke up four hours to early...or did we?  The darn thing was set on Pacific Time so at midnight it automatically corrected itself.

After two days of this and alarms going off willie nilly, he thinks he has fixed it.  Tuesday however it's still an hour behind.  So dear, sweet Brett comes in here and tells me that he thinks we sprung forward a week too early because his clock says so.  I then pointed out to him that all of our other clocks are on the new spring time.  And that I have not been early to any meetings etc.  Next I pointed to the clock on my work PC showing him that it was correct.  A heavy sigh and he went back to our room to fix it again.  Yesterday I get up and notice I am still an hour early for work...he doesn't yet have it on Eastern time.  So again yesterday he "Fixes" it.  Today....I was STILL early to work...haha. 

He thinks he finally has it set correctly today, so before he went to bed this morning, I asked, "Are you sure you are atomically correct?"
