Time, it goes forward again...
Jan. 4th, 2008 03:38 pmWhen I came in to work the day after Christmas, all the clocks were stopped at 1:59, so I put in a workorder to have it fixed.
When I came in to work the day after New Years, all the clocks were still stopped at 1:59, and I noticed that they were also stopped at the same time in the building next door. I called teh electric shop and left them voicemail to see what was going on.
Yesterday i ran into the electricians who were working on the problem, and they said that they were tracking it down and it was a campus time signal cable problem somewhere in the tunnels near my building. Around 1:30 this afternoon, the clocks all ran for 6 minutes, and then stopped again, until it was 2:05, when they started up, and, hopefully, will now keep running.
People were starting to complain about not knowing what time it was. I'll admit that I had to keep reminding myself to either look at my cell phone or the clock in the fume hood (we needed a clock with a second hand for timing etchants, and a battery powered clock was the simplest way).
