OCD & GPS

I never thought I had any OCD tendencies but I discovered I do.
On my GPS unit, displayed in the lower left corner is the est. time of arrival. Today's target was Montgomery Alabama. Estimated time to my hotel? 4:19. No big deal. I got stuck in a little traffic and soon it was 4:23...what? Being the master of quantum physic theories, I realized that I would have to go over 60mph to get my 4 minutes back. Now I get the concepts but am totally weak on the math. It took forever to get those minutes back on track. Phew...crud, I gotta pee. Soon I was up to 4:27. I couldn't stand it. I was absolutely freaked at the extra 8 minutes. 8 lousy minutes? I have to get gas? NOOOOO!!!! It is so much easier to lose minutes than to gain them. Soon I was up to 4:35. Holy cow 4:19 seemed like such a wonderful magical time. I couldn't help stare at that horrible time feature. There is no way to disable that. I have to get into my tech kit and get some gaff tape. Not much gaff can't fix.

Still curious if you guys are going to be around the first week of July.....
