Two days ago at work a couple of events seem to have happened out of order. I'm not a schizo and I've never noticed anything like this prior to 7/2.
First instance: I queried a database to see whether an error had been corrected. It had been. I noticed that the timestamp on the update was about 40 minutes *after* the time I ran the query. I didn't think anything of it because a database can be set to any timezone the admin would like. Out of curiosity I checked the timezone selected... turns out it was configured to use our local tz. I found this strange but not sus, yet, as computers do all sorts of unexpected things.
Second instance: I exported the content of a report to PDF. This software always uses the filename of the report for the PDF's filename. Not this time. I had forgotten to rename the report file to indicate that it was the final revision, yet the PDF generated was given the correct "FINAL" postfix. I renamed the report file *after* the PDF had been generated; another out of order sequence of events. This time around I became a little sus as, unlike the simple timestamp offset earlier in the day, the computer somehow predicted the deletion of three words and the addition of one word in a filename. Zero chance that would happen randomly.
Is a time wizard fucking with me? Do any anons know what's going on?
