T recently moved his practice.. So, I am dealing with the new office thing. One of the things that I noticed right away, is that he didn't put the clock up that was in the last office. He had a wall clock hanging on the opposite wall from where I sit so, patients could see the time. I went through the first session looking for a clock to look at, and it just really bothered me. I am not usually the one to watch the time while in session, but it was nice to glance up and see. So, I mentioned it to him, he said that it is actually sitting over in the corner and he thought he would put it up the next day.
I show up on Friday two weeks later, and the clock is not up. I ignore it.. and half way through the session in the midst of something else, I blurt out.. You didn't put your clock up!!!! He said, oh no, I didn't.. I told you I would last time didn't I? I said yes. Then, he said.. Well I am sorry.
I can't stop thinking about the stupid clock. How hard is it to put a damn clock up on a damn wall? And why the hell, do I care so much?
