SOURIS — A local fella who is known for his constant tardiness at whatever he does hopes that he can take advantage of Daylight Savings Time for at least one more day.
Bill McTague, long known for being slow, looks forward to the one — or two, if he’s lucky — day per year that being late is practically a given.
“It’s not that I like being late for everything,” says McTague. “It’s more that I leave things to the last minute, and then one thing leads to another, and I’m 15 minutes later than I thought. You know how it is.”
“But this time of year? No questions asked. It’s amazing. I can waltz in to work a full hour late and no one bats an eye.”
As of this morning, McTague has pretended not to notice that his phone, car, and several other digital clocks in his apartment had updated themselves automatically.
