A Time Watch Flirt 41 Comments

nolawi

I have to wear a watch at all times. If I am not, I feel nervous, uncomfortable and naked.

It maybe because I really respect time; as the saying goes ‘time is money” and I have to spend it constructively. Yes, I love to spend Sundays in bed, maybe make an egg bacon & cheese sandwich and a mug full of coffee; but that is time spent wisely.

My watch stopped working recently, and I have neither the time to get the battery replaced, nor do I own a backup one. But every morning before I leave I put it on as I have for the past two years.

I look for the time at least 6 times and day I would realize that the watch is not working and consequently would remind myself to go get a new one or take it to the shop.

This Sunday ‘no breakfast in bed;’ this Sunday I have to go ‘watch-hunting.’

I love a nice watch. Nice watch not expensive one. Expensive ok if’s nice. I have thought about a Mont Blanc, but I am not there yet, and my attire is more ‘bernos tees’ than ‘Ralph Lauren Polo’s’ these days. I don’t mind putting a small bankroll on it though. It would have to be casual one that goes with the jeans as well as the suit. Thus I don’t have to change my watch with my wardrobe.

Every once in a while I would lose my watch inside the apartment and I have to go out with out a watch. I abhor those days; those days with out a time to keep; those days I can’t look down at my watch to watch the time.

A Tall Sunday Acquaintance

It’s yet another Sunday, a good Sunday because this Sunday is special. It’s a long weekend and Monday could be spent just like a Sunday.

I get a phone call from an acquaintance, the kind of acquaintance that you are friendly with but are not friends yet.

She never really calls me, I barely know her. I only know her enough that she has my phone number. She is one of those girls I am acquainted with that she come up to me at some event and we chatted. She is one of those acquaintances, that would never call me to hang out but this Sunday she would ask.

No I am not coming out to town tonight! Bakeh come out with us, it’s just the ladies, and there is girl a zemed of sorts that is in town from Europe. She would insist that I joined them by telling me that the girl is very tall. And thus this Sunday would be spent with an acquaintance and a tall European abesha chick.

The hasty shower refreshed me but where is my watch and I am already late. I could use the lost watch as an excuse for my lateness but I knew I wouldn’t be able to flirt with the tall European Abesha chick without my watch.

My prized watch, my excuse to go home if she wasn’t tall enough; a friend who keeps me company those awkward moments of silence. Good thing I have my old backup watch.

Indeed she is tall and cute with along straight hair that is tied as in the back of a horse. She is indeed tall, tall enough that I haven’t even looked at my backup watch.

Then we headed to another location, a club, an abesha one. I made the rounds and distributed my ‘hellos’ while simultaneously gazing at the ‘wolves’ make a moves towards the tall prey. She didn’t budge, she stayed put with the ladies and I liked that. I didn’t feel like competing for her attention this Sunday.

Esti show me your American moves, and move we did to the dance floor. I told her that I would save some of my moves for the bedroom. She laughed and leaned forward pulled me by the arm and left her lipstick marks on my cheek.

I knew she like me because she laughed at my lame attempts to be funny. She told me the personal details including her plans to move in the US. And I adored and even respected that she was very open. I tend trust girls that are can talk about themselves in a non-chalant, unguarded way.

Head tilted laughter

nolawi

It must have been late, that she asked for the time. She pulled my left hand up to look for the time on backup watch and looked confused that I glance for the time.

And then she burst into laughter, that she tilted her head back and could barely stand up. She was trying to speak although incoherent while simultaneously laughing. Yemasera seAt…., referring to ‘my wearing a watch that doesn’t work.

Daym, does she actually think I am wearing a watch that doesn’t work intentionally? I told her I didn’t know that it didn’t work but she couldn’t stop laughing. She was laughing so hard she had to cover her mouth and tilt her head back.

I smiled and left her on the dance floor and walked away from a wasted Sunday without my working watch.

    I have a beautiful Coach watch that I can’t live without. Sad thing is battery died a year ago and I still wear the darn thing everyday. It shouldn’t take more than 20min. to have the battery changed but I still run around with it. I have 5 other watches – but can’t just cheat on my favorite. It’s always 11:15 wherever whenever…

    I won’t say anything about the whole post. I will leave toothpick to comment on it.

    About watches,

    My dad used to buy watches, each year ,for the person who made it first in their class. My younger sister is still terrified of them as she used to get a new one each year.

    Nol,

    Speaking of se’at here is a totally disrespectful song from probably my mom’s generation…I think it is Tamrat Mola but don’t quote me on that:

    Parimode lebsalech….silicha
    Shurab derbalech……Jonya
    Tseguruan tetekusa …le form
    seat adirgalech…….Qorqoro
    esuan yemiketel…… denqoro

    pa ra ra ra ra ra ra
    pa ra ra ra ra ra ra

    I wonder how the ladies back then reacted

    what kind of a song is this ?

    The singer must have had an issues with women looking beautiful and dressing up.

    I look at my cell phone if I want to know what time it is. When I am at home I look at the micro wave or my stove.
    All clocks and radios are programmed 10-15 minutes ahead. This saves me from being late.
    I like watches but I don’t care to ware one everyday. Most of my watches have stopped as well. I don’t want to replace the battery I want my husband to buy me a new one. It would be nice to have our anniversary date engraved on the back.

  27. 27 Nightingale

    You know I didn’t mind not wearing a watch but in my new office everyone does and it made me feel weird. So I had to find four of my not-working watches and had to change the batteries of them all. I couldn’t find my fifth one tough….

    Ponte en contacto con tu distribuidor con Bosch (en el manual de instrucciones, encontrarás más información). Si el problema continua, llama al teléfono del Servicio Posventa que aparece en el manual de instrucciones de tu Indego. Se recomienda dejar una distancia mínima de al menos 1 m entre el cable perimetral y cualquier obstáculo (p. ej., un árbol una valla). No obstante, si eso no ocurre y quedan zonas sin cortar, llama al teléfono del Servicio Posventa que aparece en el manual de instrucciones de tu Indego.

    Lunes 24 de mayo recibo un mensaje en el móvil indicanado que el portátil había sido recepcionado en la central de Sony de Alemania. Yo compre también un sony vaio que es un lujazo de ordenador y me ha durado un año.Pero el problema empieza aqui como no funciona llamo al servicio tecnico donde no te solucionan nada te dicen que te llamaran y no te llaman.Y te cobran 50 euros si no tienes disco de recuperación.Y encima no te llega y tienes que estar detras de ellos. He tenido 2 Sony vaio y la verdad he evitado el servicio técnico cuanto he podido y la verdad por suerte, ya que no he tenido problemas importantes.
