"Spring forward, Fall behind". Dont forget to set you clocks an hour ahead this weekend. |
|
Either way, it always fucks me up for about two weeks.
PSA for the weekend.

My clocks haven't been right since the last time! My son was supposed to change all the one's up high but ... he didn't. :grr: I read on DU that some computers with XP and ?? will need a patch this time.
Thanks for the reminder. :hi:

5. I don't know what PC's are going to do. |
|
But just be sure to set the clocks in your house right so you get to work on time!
Since Congress messed with this shit, my clocks and PC were all fowled up last time. So I had to reset my clock twice! Once when it changed. and then again when my clocks changed again at the programmed time.
I figure it is the least of things to thank that asshole bush for.

4. Try setting them back an hour instead |
|
Being two hours late for all of your appointments will fuck THEM up. Stick it to the man!

10. They should call it "Daylight Losing Time" |
|
We are losing an hour this go around. Why don't we call it what it is?

12. I always hated working the midnight shift because of this. |
|
I'd either have to work 9 hours on the one hand, or be shorted an hour on the other. Either way, it always screwed up my life and sleeping schedule for at least two weeks.

13. I used to think so too. |
|
But setting an hour back screws me up just as bad for a couple weeks, for some reason.

14. Finally, my VCR will have the right time. |
|
I lost the remote and it doesn't have front panel programming. Not that I use it, it's only reason for it's continued existance is that damn clock.

19. Not a bad idea! Thanks! |
|
Mine are all wired into the electricity, and no batteries needed.
My only issue is that my clocks and electronics are set to change time in April. So I have to set them myself tomorrow, and then set them back next month again when they change on their own. Grrrr!
