Do you ever check the clock at work and it’s 3:30 and an hour later you check again and it’s 3:25?

Don't work so late, that's not healthy.

Graveyard shifts exist for a reason.

No.
But I've only been employed here for a single week. Novelty'll have to wear off at some point.

I used to be a skate guard at an ice rink, which originally sounded like a sweet gig until I realized I had to stay out on the ice for extended periods of time. I can confirm that the colder your toes are, the slower time moves. The god awful radio songs played nonstop didnt help either.

No but as I get older my retirement age seems farther and farther away.

Oh. Night shift in a hospital. Makes sense now.

Actually possible if that's 1 instead of 3, and is AM (or 24-hour time) on a particular Sunday. November 1st this year in most of the US.

Analog, digital, some thing: I read something, forget/misread, convince myself it’s later, get disappointed when I check the time again.

I will say that wearing a watch has helped. I can look at it repeatedly until I get it right!

Do you get paid for that extra hour? I imagine absolutely but I must ask.

No because you don't get paid an hour less when the clocks change 6 months later.

I was a nightclub doorman until 7am through winter. I swear some nights I checked the time at 0332 and when I checked it again it was still 0332.
