Change your clocks this weekend

[AMCJeepMJ]

Just a reminder- Spring forward, Fall back on Sunday, March 10th at 0200 local time.

 

Should you reside in a location that does not observe Daylight Whatever Time, please disregard.

And consider yourself lucky... DST is absolutely useless, and if I have to work that weekend, it's going to mess up my work schedule.

I'm getting tired of setting my alarm at 0159 hours to wake up just to change my clock. :dunce:

I think I'll move to Arizona.

Yep. Only if it falls that way on my squedule.

 

I actually work 13s. I start an hour early to start pickup inspections. So I will work a 12 technically, usually a 13 hour shift every other day. :cheers:

I was so happy that this had fallen on the weekend that I was not working, this year. 'Course the boss called me today and asked if I'd mind working Saturday and Sunday to change a head and mast... :(

 

I absolutely hate DST and would love to see it go away. I don't think it saves any electricity, certainly not this far north at least.

[AMCJeepMJ]

Don't forget! If you wake up late for church [or other obligation] you have no one to blame but yourself!

I prefer Daylight Savings Time over Standard Time. So I say to get rid of Standard Time permanently, like Russia and Krygyzstan have done. Ha.

 

Some interesting reading about DST around the world.

i often wish this forum had an up-vote and down-vote button. sometimes i see some good replies, lol.

one quote i just heard was : "only the government could think that you could take a blanket and cut a foot off of its length and sew it onto the other end to make it longer."

 

and i agree w/ johnnyc. -get rid of standard-time. (or any time, really.)
