I actually did this the day following the previous post but forgot to blog it. :-)

My mind goes strange places sometimes

OK so a co-worker had this on her cubicle wall:

At five minutes and six seconds after 4 AM on the 8th of July this year,  the time and date will be 04:05:06 07/08/09. This will not happen again for a thousand years.
 
So this fascinated me for some reason.  But after I came back to my desk and thought about it, I realized this would happen every year, right?  It would change by one each year for up to 12 months.  So I put it in excel (my personal mathematician) and realized that for the years in 2000, this first occurred in year 2006 and will end in 2014 and it occurs every thousand years.  Oh wait, isn’t it every 100 years? Like I said, my mind goes strange places sometimes.  Sorry but I had to share. Here's the numbers:

It's been 10 months!


Amazing how time flies and how much my locks have changed. Yesterday my nephew asked if I had taken them down or changed the pattern. He said they looked so different from when I first started. He then asked what I was going to do when they get really long becuase there are so many and they will be all over the place. I told him I'd cross that bridge when I get there. :-)

Last week I was visiting rehabilitation centers for my Mom. She just underwent knee replacement surgery and I was deciding where the send her for physical therapy. A GUY who was also visting the center I was at, stopped me and said he really liked my locks. I was so hyped! It really helped my mood too because it had been a really stressful week with my mom and the surgery and all. Really, I was hyped. :-)

So it's been 10 months and the end of this month I'm taking the re-tightening class. I'm looking forward to it. I really like my consultant but that long haul to visit her takes it's toll. It will be nice to do my own hair at my own pace.
