Retardo Clocks

Well today we retarded clocks to GMT-2. That means instead of going on watch at 0000, I go on watch at 0020.

At 0200 we move the clocks back to 0100. That means I go round the bridge changing all the clocks. We have onboard a "clever" clocks system, when I change the time on the bridge the clocks around the ship change.

Now resuming my watch I continue till 0340, when my relief turns up 20 minutes early.

This means all the watch keepers (Spoons, Tim and Myself) do an extra 20 minutes at work in order for the dayworkers to get an extra hour in bed!!!!

How rude!
