 Post subject: Daylight Savings Time
PostPosted: Tue Mar 4, '08, 4:52 pm 
I was looking at the calendar this morning and it has Daylight Savings Time for this Sunday, March 9th. Goodness that seems awfully early this year, although it seems like I do remember something about them changing the time for this last year.

Oh well, on Sunday, I guess we will " spring forward " an hour for Daylight Savings Time here in the US. :yaknow:

I don't have to worry about Daylights saving time where I am. It's pretty sweet... Though there has been talk of the government to change that. Hopefully not because that would mess me up badly. :(

It started so people would get up earlier at certain times of year and have more hours of daylight. It doesn't really serve much of a purpose anymore, but the government just keeps it going here.

We don't use it, but my clock does. It really sucks to have an atomic clock when you don't pay attention to that kind of thing. And theres really no point. I mean its bad enough to have to know the time but having to set your clocks everytime? Horrible idea this is.

My province is (as far as I know) the only province in which does not use daylights saving time so that's pretty sweet. Though I can see the point of it. It must get annoying during that time of year

Well, I forgot to mention it this weekend but this past Saturday night was time to set the clocks back one hour (fall back) for daylight savings time here in the USA. I hope everyone remembered to set your clocks back.

Can't really say I like this new time yet. It is supposed to give us an extra hour of sleep but that's not very helpful when you have trouble sleeping at night anyway. Maybe it will grow on me as the days go along.

Anyone else like this new time change, or do you prefer it the other way?

I had some trouble with my alarm clock this year. The time setting button didn't want to work at first. Eventually it gave in, but for a while I wasn't sure. I've still not set my watch back, though. I keep forgetting to do that.

Another DST passes that I don't have to worry about. Pretty happy about that. And SS, if you're having troubles sleeping, I know how you feel.
