I’ve grown up on military time and am quite comfortable with using it.  In fact, documentation in medical records are done with military time to avoid any confusion about AM and PM.  Needless to say, military time is second nature.

I woke today to my alarm and quickly got up and showered, shaved, and dressed as we had dinner plans.  I noted that the bathroom clock likely needed a new battery because the clock was running very slow.  Then I realized I just changed that battery about a month ago.  It was 1:50pm – that’s right – 13:50.  In my attempt to set my alarm for 3:30pm, I set it for 13:30 – a full two hours before I needed to get up.  Maybe I shouldn’t try setting my alarm after a long night shift in the ER…
