What you going to do when the Earth Shifts?

[Ninurta]

Probably not related to electromagnetic shifting, but something strange happened here the other day. I didn't want to do a thread based just on a question I have, so I'll ask it here.

Day before yesterday I looked outside as the sun was setting and was surprised to see it was much further toward the east than usual. Actually, I don't remember ever seeing it set that far over from where it usually is.  I pondered on it for a few minutes then went back to my desk befuddled.

Then last night I looked out again at sunset (I like to see if there are any pretty clouds in the sky at sunset) and the sun was setting back where it usually does this time of year.  It was much further west from my vantage point than the previous night. I was looking out the same window as the night before.

I have no rational explanation for this. It kind of scared me.  

Any ideas what could have caused this?  I'm still at a loss.

By "east", do you mean farther south, or farther north? East would be 180 degrees, directly opposite the sunset. At this time of year, the sun should be setting a couple of degrees farther north each day. I.e it should be setting to the southwest, with each sunset a little closer to directly west every day as it moves northward along the horizon.
