Why's
It
So?
We're
out
of
Time
by
G.S.
Whyte
the
scenario:
The
Here's
watch
that
you've
worn
and
trusted
for
a
couple
of
years
is
broken
and
you're
running
to
school
so
you're
not
late
for
your
first
class.
(Oh
yeah,
your
car
wouldn't
start
this
morning.
That's
why
you're
walking)
The
first
clock
you
see
tells
you
there's
still
half-an-hour
before
you
have
to
be
there.
Heaving
a
sigh
of
relief,
you
head
to
the
cafeteria
for
breakfast,
stopping
in
the
bookstore
on
the
way
for
some
paper.
There
is
a
rather
long
line
up,
and
it
seems
to
take
forever
before
you
finally
reach
the
cashier
to
pay
for
the
merchandise.
You
decide
you'd
best
check
the
time
again,
and
you
find
only
thirty
seconds
have
passed.
After
a
few
seconds
of
doubt,
you
head
for
the
cafeteria
to
do
some
last-minute
studying.
You
see
someone
from
your
class
and
ask
them
the
time.
Your
friend
looks
at
the
clock
and
says
you
still
have
45
minutes
until
the
beginning
of
class.
You
find
out
ten
minutes
later,
from
a
couple
of
other
people
in
the
same
class,
that
both
of
you
have
just
missed
class
completely.
Now
you
are
completely
confused
Why's
it
so?
Simple.
For
starters,
since
your
watch
is
in
the
shop,
you
don't
have
a
consistent
timer.
Relying
on
CNC's
clocks
could
lead
one
to
confusion,
since
no
two
clocks
in
the
college
are
synchronized
to
the
same
time.
Yeah,
all
of
them
are
working
right,
but
while
some
show
Prince
George
time,
others
are
showing
the
time
in
the
mid-Atlantic,
Norway
or
Greenwich,
give
or
take
half
an
hour
or
fifteen
miniates.
I'm
not
saying
that
it's
bad
to
know
what
time
it
is
in
Berlin,
Germany.
It's
just
that
if
you
want
to
get
to
class

Who
knows?
Perhaps
somewhere
in

someone's
watch
IS
three-and
-a-half
hours
ahead
of
the
rest
of
us,
or
behind
as
the
case
may
be.
The
moral
of
this
story
is...
When
you're
in
the
College
of
New
Caledonia,
either
wear
a
watch
or
hang
around
someone
who
does.
you
rely
on
the
clocks,
you
will
quickly
become
a
completely
confused
and
stressed-out
clock
watcher.
And
more
stress
is
just
what
you
need,
right?
"As
quoted
in
room
l-308b,
"Don't
be
a
clock
watcher.
Be
a
College
watcher."
