Dumb and Considerably Dumber

Noticing that I hadn't been at all productive tonight, I glanced at my digital clock which displayed 10:59 PM, and slightly relieved, thought to myself "At least I have 40 minutes left till 11 o'clock."

Depressing: I didn't realize my mistake until the clock actually turned 11:00 PM.

Strangely Uplifting: When repeating my miscalculation to a friend (lets call her Meredith), all I got in response was a perfectly dumb, blank stare.

Tragic: Over an hour later, I still haven't done anything productive, and Meredith is no doubt sitting in a corner somewhere, staring at a clock, and wondering why there aren't 100 minutes in an hour.
