Spring Forward Those Clocks (UGH)

[PaulBot]

Don't forget - tonights the night.

I really despise manilplating our clocks twice a year. 

What makes it worse for me is I work on Sunday. Oh well...

We do twice a year.   

[CeeKay]

All of my clocks should automatically spring forward.

[jersoc]

Ugh, why is this still around? You guys see the report that DLS costs more energy than it saves? HAHAH. so awesome. Gotta love those idiots in the office.

UGGGH 5 AM Monday is going to come quick 

[DarkEL]

I decided to be "pro-actively lazy" this last fall by not setting my clocks back an hour (all the ones that required manual intervention that is)

So starting tomorrow - all my clocks will be correct again

[gellar]

Fuck me.  This makes my tee time tomorrow a BIT EARLIER THAN I EXPECTED.

Only uncivilized places like Japan and Saskatchewan don't have daylight savings time.  Do you really want it to get dark at 7 o'clock in the evening? Huh? Do you?

[Wolves]

For me, it's not really about what time it gets dark at. Just keep it the same bloody time.

Keeping it daylight savings time all year round would be fine with me.

Enough of this annoying time switching nonsense!

Exactly! I couldn't care less when the sun comes up and goes down, just QUIT MESSING AROUND WITH THE TIME CHANGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like longer days. it seems in my older age Ive become one of the people I used to make fun of..those who suffer depression in the winter time due to cold and darkness.

[Goldchamp]

I'm glad its changing too i hate driving home from work in the dark

The days aren't longer. An hour of sunlight has been moved from the morning to the evening.

"Lousy farmers!"

well, if you sleep through the mornings then technically the days are longer

Why did I pick last night to go drinking.

Yep, it just depends on how you look at it. I'm glad it's dark once again past 7:00am because I hate having the sun right in my face when driving to work, but it won't last since the days are getting longer.

It's not officially spring yet and I'm already looking forward to next winter. I hate the long, hot summer days.

My grass is starting to wake up from it's winter slumber. Nuts! Yardwork - I absolutely despise it.

I love living in Hawai'i

[PaulBot]

I love living in Hawai'i

<plugging ears> I don't want to hear it 

[drifter]

Although its still spelled Hawaii, in my 5.5 years on Oahu I never saw anyone spell Hawaii; hawai'i.

Proper spelling is Hawai'i   O'ahu  

[CeeKay]

I love living in Hawai'i

too bad the cost of living sounds to be pretty high for us civvies.

Actually, to keep a long story short, I am civvy

Still awesome though.

I woke up at 9:00 this morning. If I had had to commute to work this morning I'd have been in big trouble.

[drifter]

interesting wikipedia spells it like you do and dictionary sites spell them without the ' .

whatever I certainly enjoyed my time there.

yes it does cost a lot to live there but its relative as well.  I was there in the late 80's and even then a job at Jack-in-the-box paid like $8/hour.

In a health survey Hawaii was listed as one the the (if not #1) healthiest places to live in the US.

[ROTC1983]

Yeah, I remember someone brought up the fact that it is one of the healthiest places to live.  Kinda interesting if you think about it, because the diet here seems to make me believe the opposite.  Yeah, it is really weird that the spelling is different in so many places.

[leo8877]

The last few times I've been to Hawai'i I've seen it spelled like that everywhere there.  I always say it spelled as Hawaii growing up, though.

[Canuck]

All I know is that it SUCKS to live in Japan and have the goddamned sun go down at 7:30 at night on the longest fucking day of the year!!

[Brendan]

What, "plate lunch, two scoops rice" isn't the road to fitness?  What the hell am I doing then?  Maybe I should reconsider my malasada regimen.

I'm not a fan of Daylight Savings but on the bright side my daughter has been sleeping in an extra hour... (though I know it won't last)

[Wolves]

Bah! My cell phone receives it's time changes through my phone company itself. Last year I didn't know that. I couldn't figure out a way to change it myself so I set the alarm in it to account for it. Some time during the morning, it switched over automatically by receiving a signal from a tower or something, I guess. And of course my alarm was off by an hour.

This year it STILL hasn't updated. I know my way around the phone relatively well by now and there's no way to change the time yourself.

Have you power cycled your phone?  That should trigger the update for sure.

Thanks!
