changing the frickin' clocks

[calimac]

I got home late last night, with a preassigned duty of changing those clocks that B. couldn't reach or that she didn't want to deal with.

The challenge was the time display on our new stove. There's nothing in the manual on how to change it, but I know I managed to do it back in April or whenever that was. I found that I'd written an instructional note down in the margin of the manual. It said:

"To change clock: Push buttons at random until display changes to '----'. Then you can enter the new time."

This time I figured out how to handle the buttons, and changed the note.

Very similar to PLOKTA — "Press Lots Of Keys To Abort".

Thanks for the reminder. My phone and computer changed automatically, but the kitchen clocks don't.

Yay for helpful annotations in the user documentation.
