I rarely use the clock lingo; not sure I ever have - but I've
heard it from others and it makes sense. Now drifting slightly off
topic (if there ever was one), I remember Jack in the Box when I lived
in L.A. .. It was one of my least favorite fast food joints.
Everyone thought it sucked. A bunch of people got sick one time, up
in the northwest I think, and soon the Jack in the Boxes closed down.
But a few years later they opened as "new and improved" - and funny
thing is, they really were improved. That rarely happens. Usually
it's just a term businesses use. But Jack in the Box in my opinion
really did improve after they shut down and reopened. I remember the
one in Hollywood Ca that I would go to now and then. There was a guy
from somewhere in the middle east who seemed to always be there. I
could tell he was bright, probably also working his way through
college. He always had a smile on his face, very easy going - looked
like nothing bothered him. He was so happy and friendly that I
wondered if one day he might explode and kill a bunch of people. I
had trouble understanding how someone could hold a job of any kind and
smile all through the day. I still do.
