Daylight Savings Time

Don't forget to set your clocks ahead. No one wants to be an hour early for work. :wink:

I'm not a big fan of giving up the hour, but it does give you one more hour of golf time so it isn't that bad.

I don't particularly care for waking up and not seeing a sun, as I did this morning.

But hey, I guess I can't complain, because I love it in the summer when it's still light out at 830pm.

And in the winter I do like it when it gets dark early.

I think when it first switches over it sucks, but it gets better as the hours even out a bit more.

You won't believe what happened. When we went to church today, there were no greeters at the door, nobody was outside, and the parking lot was full. I thought maybe it was an early service, but turns out I forgot to set my clock. :oops:

I like daylight savings time, but the actual day we change I hate. I only get a few hours of sleep anyway and losing that hour makes me cranky. :twisted:

They really should do it on a Saturday so we at least have the weekend to accept the changes.

Agreed. It would be a lot better on Saturday. Actually, I think if they did it around 10:00 AM on Friday it would be best. :lol:

We can keep the fall change the same.

4pm on Friday.

Boss: "Peterson, I need you to take these forms down to accounting."

Peterson: "Actually, Sir, I was just on my way home."

Boss: "But it's only 3:59pm!"

Peterson: ".... three two one. And now it's 5pm! See ya."

Awesome.

You could get an hour of OT that way.

It's been a while since I had a job that actually paid OT, but I always took it when I could get it.

SUCKAS!!!!


All that changed for me, is now I'm on Pacific Time instead of mountain time.

In Arizona, we don't need no stinkin' Daylight Savings time.
