[Histonet] timer calibration

If we are going to ask if our timers are calibrated in the Histology Lab, then one could ask the question: "Do you calibrate the timers on your various automated instruments such as processors, stainers, cryostats, and the list could go on?  I don't feel that 1 second a year is going to make a difference in my calibrated-timed tissue being processed or my H&E stains. If time does matter that precisely to you, then you most likely have a system in place for calibrating your timers.

Calibration  of  timers  is  essential, as  one  of  the  least  publicised consequences of  global  warming  is  that  time  is  speeding  up  by about  a  second  a  year( Wells  et  al;Journal of  Man  and  Time Vol 6, 211-221, 2008).

I'm sorry
am I the only one that thinks calibrating timers is stupid. I mean how many histology procedures are so time sensitive that the timers have to be calibrated? Let's face it. I have had techs sit there and watch the clock and rinse as soon as the timer goes off. And I've had techs wait for the timer to go off , then mosey over and rinse.  Both stains worked. I guess I'm just not anal enough.
