Clock's Up!

01:02:03
04/05/06

There's no bigger clock-watcher than an intel troop hard-wired into the realtime intelligence system.

This morning, the clock and calendar will roll into the configuration seen above, which probably won't be seen again in our lifetimes.

Working a task-specific collection aisle when I was in the intel business, we used to mark special times on the digital Zulu (Greenwich Mean Time) clock just to relieve the early morning boredom. 22:22:22 Zulu would equate to 07:22 in the morning (think Korea) and our crooning of "Twoooooooooooos" might have amused any of the "day ladies" motivated enough to come to work early enough to hear us.

Other "interesting times" would be hollered out as "Clock's Up!!!" such as 01:23:45. Here's to all the frontline intel heroes today observing the ultimate "Clock's UP!"...at least until the next hundred years.

    The next time of note will be...

    Six minutes after 6am on the sixth of June in '06!

    Dunno about you, but I'm planning on having my head under the sheets. ;)
