I must have heard it about 5 times today, but I really hate when people complain about the time change! ITS ONE FLIPPIN HOUR! :rifle: Its not like your waking up going, "OMG what day is it? Is the milk still good?"

We accidentally ate at dinner 4 pm because we forgot to change the car clock. Thought it was funny.

It made me nervous- I wake up at 2am to go to work, and I use my cell phone as an alarm. I had no clue if it would update promptly at 2 or not (my phone syncs with the cell towers and I couldn't figure out how to override that). So what do you do? Wake up at 1:55 and go back to bed when the clock changes to 1:00? Set the alarm for 2:05, 2:15, 2:30 and pray the cell phone updates? ARGH

Sometimes relying on technology can really screw with you ;)

well mine has the optin to auto time set or set it yourself:

So I set the time on mine (for the new time that would be in effect when I woke up) before I went to bed.

No biggie.

Yeah I totally couldn't find that feature... and I know it's there somewhere, I just couldn't find it. It might have something to do with the fact that I was having a conversation with a giant Q at the time. (someone please get the reference)

It's an old Denis Leary sketch, from 1992... about NyQuil

Well being as I work until dark, I think it's a governmental conspiracy to keep me without funds to buy more geckos. I beat the system by going to work 45 minutes earlier and driving back to the yard slower:main_evilgrin:

Are you trying to accuse me of something, Paul?

You know I wouldn't do that to you!

Thats what I really don't understand about it...people complain about how horrible it is, yet they don't understand that they actually gained an hour of sleep for a change.

That's how I always look at it. I average 5-6 hours of sleep a day so I'll take what I can.
