It's that TIME again!!

[lonewolf]

its light by 6.30am and not dark until 6pm down here, but I wish they would stop messing with the hour, I thought when we left the EU all that would stop but no.

 

[Amish Heart]

This time change is the worst! I may be retired, but still need to get up at 6:15 each morning to get little granddaughter up for school. And like Sonya, if I have a morning appt, then animals are having to be done in the dark. Summertime is so much nicer....lots of daylight and no school

 

[Lenny]

Like they say in the bar, "Spring back and fall forward." <BURP>

 

[lonewolf]

spring forward and fall back over here.

 

[Digout]

Back to "Standard Time" on 5th April here.

 

[Pearl]

Back to "Standard Time" on 5th April here.

And DST here tomorrow! How neat knowing and communicating with folks from around the world!!

 

[Lenny]

Be careful the day after DST starts because people going to work are behind the wheel of their cars an hour early, so they were acting even more stupid.

It's hard to believe that some people can be more stupid!!

 

[Lenny]

It's hard to believe that some people can be more stupid!!

I know.

 

[Mountain trapper]

I don't know what the big deal is. There's still 24 hours in a day.

 

[Magus]

^^^...Me Thinks You Need to Re-Spell a word before "the sun"...!!!

Nah, he nailed it, it's sh!t.

 

[Neb]

I don't know what the big deal is. There's still 24 hours in a day.

Except...

One day in the fall has 25 hours
One day in the spring has 23 hours

Drove me nuts figuring out how to ensure a backup scheduled for 2:30 AM every night. In the fall there are (2) 2:30s and NO 2:30s one day in the spring. Add to that quagmire congress can change the days when it happens!

"Woe to them who choose to change times and ways."

[Snowman]

Change it Friday Night at Bed-time...!!!

 

[Pearl]

MY CLOCKS ARE CHANGED!!!

 

[Patchouli]

Does this mean I get to leave work an hour early?

 

[Pearl]

Does this mean I get to leave work an hour early?

YES, tell them I said so!!

 

[Neb]

Does this mean I get to leave work an hour early?

If you work the 00:00 - 08:00 shift, yes

[Mountain trapper]

This will all be forgotten about in a few days. Until the next time change.

 

[Supervisor42]

This will all be forgotten about in a few days. Until the next time change.

...Not for me!!

 

[Pearl]

Haha, I'm on eastern time today since I changed my clocks early!!

 

[dademoss]

Haha, I'm on eastern time today since I changed my clocks early!!

Daredevil!!!!

 

[Neb]

Haha, I'm on eastern time today since I changed my clocks early!!

But what if it doesn't happen?

Ben

 

[Pearl]

But what if it doesn't happen?

Ben

Oh it's happening, lol! And I realize that some day I might be on DST all by myself!!

 

[Ekatarina]

I noticed at my place its not as dark when at 5.30 pm - 6.00 pm
its about time

 

[teeceetx]

Time to set the clocks 1 hour ahead tonight.

 

[Ekatarina]

Time to set the clocks 1 hour ahead tonight.

I just realized it

 

[Neb]

Time to set the clocks 1 hour ahead tonight.

Technically 2:00 AM becomes 3:00.

Hold your horses!

[Patchouli]

Aw heck, I guess everybody is going to bed now. G'night yall!
It doesn't become Latersville until 2 a.m. It's like New Year's Eve to me, except I don't drink. Or is it Soonersville? Anyway, happy- (what is it again, daylight SAVING TIME) lose-another-hour-of sleep-day/night/eve.
This is where you are late for church if you don't have atomic clock/time connection (cell phone to tower). I have been known to show up an hour early (back before cell phones, anybody remember that?)
Like @Mountain trapper said we'll all forget about it in a few days, except @Supervisor42 of course, and Buddy, @Pearl 's donkey. He always remembers what time it is.
I'm going to open a bottle of fake bubbly and toast another time change. The only excitement in my life.

 

[Caribou]

My truck will be correct when I wake up, for the next few months.
