I had a strange night. I work night shift at the grocery store, to get things started.
Before work I decided to check my balance, and it came up $666. Cute coincidence I thought.

I went to work, normal night and I go take my lunch break. I read during break and set my watch to stop timer to keep track. (30 mins) One chapter down and the timer reads 11:11. Heh, I smile and continue. Next check is 13:33. Take a drink and dive back into the story. Next check is 23:33 and at this point I say out loud "no way" and write the times down to remember, and just in case. Next glance reveals a timer count of 25:55.

I hear people going inside and the last glance down says break is over, so I go punch back in. I stop the timer, clear it and swap over to actual time, and it is... 11:44. I chuckled out loud and continued to work. Curiosity got the best of me after a couple cases and I looked one last time to find 11:52:52.

At this point it stopped being every time I looked down because, well, I kept looking and the pattern was never a straight repeat. But 75% of each glance afterward has a discernable pattern. as follows, 12:23, 12:32 (I add those just because) 1:09:01, 1:48:14, 2:20, 12:44, 3:13:13 and 3:23

So after the first batch my mind was grasping for any pattern it could see really, but I wrote them down anyhow, just for you guys. And a funny thing, when I decided to post this, my clock read 7:37.

*edit* I don't take exactly 30 min lunches, it's between 30-35 so it's *possible* my break started at 11:11 as well. heh, who knows.
