Subject: Did you remember ???
Written By: 80s_cheerleader on 10/31/05 at 11:27 am
Just wondering if everyone who is affected by Daylight Savings Time remembered to turn their clocks back Saturday night? Since we were gone for the weekend, I changed all of them before we left ;)

I forgot to do the one on my desk this morning and one of the ones in the meetings room I was using today wasn't changed. Now you mention it I've thought of some more at work I am responsible for.

I remember when my clock said 8am, but in reality it was 7am.

We did remember but it usually takes us a while to get ALL of them. I think right now there is only one left to do.

If you forget to change it, that means that you don't have to change it again in April. ;D ;D

I changed ALL of mine on Saturday. The one in the cable box changes automatically, as does the one in my computer, and the one in my cell phone.

Yep, changed mine. Then I had to go to work early yesterday to make sure the time clock reset itself. It didn't, of course, so I had to do some surgery on it to get it right! ;D

I turned all my clocks back, but then got confused when some of my clocks had all kinds of different times ;D
I had to turn on my TV to a channel that had the time, and set all my clocks according to it ;D

dude, it was funny, i FREAKED that morning. i'd been to this party the night before and then i got up and i was listening to the radio and i was hung over and seriously like, okay, what's with how every announcer is saying the time all wrong? did communists take over the world while i was sleeping?? it didn't help that i had the same problem, my computer clock is broken and stuck at being an hour and a half off, now a half-hour off, so for a minute or so i was in this total weird freespace. then i remembered, oh, yeah! DST plus drinking yourself stupid does NOT mix.

Did anybody hear about Bush's plan to extend Daylights Saving time? It's part of the Energy Bill, I think, because people don't turn on as many lights when it's light out.
I hate Daylight Savings...

I had already changed some of the clocks, then mistakenly changed them again ;D

I doubt it'd do much.
And yeah, we changed the clocks forward a month ago for summertime.

He was on TV a while ago when they had a series about the castle. They filmed him on clock weekend and he did one huge clock (in a tower or something) where you had to wind it all the way around and to keep the chimes right you had to do it for 23 hours. Unbfortunately you can't see the hands until you go outside again and he got it wrong and wound it on 25 hours!

Did he have to go 21 hours more?
Yes, back up the tower to do it.
