So the clocks went ahead an hour!
Soo - this morning at 2AM, the clocks jumped forward ahead an hour - stealing yet another precious hour of sleep from us.
We can't let this continue! Those damnable clocks are out to ruin our way of life! |
The time change happened while I was at work, so I actually won't be losing ANY sleep at all since I just got back an hour or so ago. See you all at 7PM, suckers!
|
Losing an hour sucked. Especially since my alarm clock didn't go off this morning - I was behind enough on my work. Thank you daylight saving time!
BTW - the GFF DST detection is broken. It says that it's 9 AM - it's actually 10 AM. And yes, I have my setting in options set to detect DST automatically. I just checked. |

In any case, it's time for me to go change all the clocks in my house, so that the time on the things that automatically update their time doesn't confuse me. |
I didn't have to change anything, not on my watch anyway, since I actually was too lazy to set my watch one hour back, back in october. And now everything's fine again.
Laziness does pay off. Even if it's on trivial things. |
Fuck, wheres all the daylight we're supposed to be saving?!
|
Dang, that's one less hour of "studying" (aka. playing videogames)
I thought it was an April Fool's joke because I'm paranoid about lots of stuff. |
Wait till this fall. You'll get it back don't worry. Just like every year.
|
Noooooooooo! That means more studying time in First Term :(

Man, I wish the punchclock would automatically change for DST. That would mean that us night shifters would get paid for an hour that we didn't work. :) |
I always have trouble waking up for about a week when the clocks are moved forward an hour. Even if I sleep earlier and wake up at the same time, I still find it difficult to remain awake.
|
I don't mind. Since I go to sleep and wake up whenever the hell I want~ it's all gravy. Wake up at 2PM, aint no thang.
|
Hahaha! And this is one more reason why I love living in Arizona. We don't give a fuck about daylight saving time and we've done just fine. :D
|
Yeah, I was going to go to bed at 2, but one minute later, it was already 3!! Oh well, I slept for a good 11 hours anyway.
|
I went to bed at 5 am and woke up at 11:30 am. I have lost nothing.
|
I got royally fucked today. My cell phone didn't change times automatically, so I eneded up going to work an hour late. Fuck.
|
This thing always fucks up my sleep patterns. Darned stupid Earth!
|
I don't understand why my cell doesn't change time automatically. I mean, it changes time when I fly halfway across the nation, but for DST it's no dice. What. I mean, at least it could have a little feature where you check if you're on it or not, so it'll change. At least my computer did, or I'd have forgotten entirely.
And I have a rehearsal at 5pm. That could have been a mess. |
Wait, it's only just happened for you lot now?
It happened like a week ago for us. >_> |
I continue to despise DST. Once again stole an hour of sleep, and I actually have a busy Sunday today. Dammit
|
It sucks :(
Suddenly getting up one hour earlier is something hard. Also, I notice stuff feel different in the beginning, like "shit, I thougth it was <one hour earlier than current> time". |
Meh, personally speaking I think it is a waste of effort to keep changing the time back and forth. If someone is worried about "daylight savings" then they can get their ass up out of bed an hour early, leave the rest of us the fuck alone!
|
Like pretty much everyone else, I lost an hour's worth of sleep.
But I lost something else...... My diginity. My self-respect. The keys to my car. The little cap that goes on the ketchup bottle. My day's been royally off-kilter. |
Lol, when you start a new job - on the first DST day, show up an hour late, and be like "Oh, shit! I completly forgot that we went an hour ahead today" and then the next time around, show up two hours late, and be like "Oh shit! I remembered this time, but put the clock the wrong way!"
lol |
I don't see how one meager hour can ruin an entire day for some people. Twice a year I have to do it and twice a year, all I hear is people bitching about how they can't live under these horrible condition and how an hour of sleep will kill you. Well, not eating vegetables was supposed to kill me and I'm still standing.
Get over it, it's only an hour....not the apocalypse, but that would be awesome. |
More like the clocks went BACK an hour. I woke up at 5:30 AM, it was fantastic. Actually no, it wasn't. But a man can dream, a man can dream.
Of waking up at 6:30 like normal. What a shitty dream that'd be. |
I almost lost track of time today. Good thing the computer had the auto daylight saving on the clock.
|
One of the reasons I'm glad I live in Arizona and don't have to deal with all this bullshit daylights savings times and all that. I really don't get it. I mean you're going to just have to set your alarm clock back after several months, so it's not like you're gaining any time. WTF is wrong with people? They should just ban stupid shit like that.
|
I love daylight savings time. I don't have to wait for the days to get longer naturally.
Like tonight. The sun was shining and birds were singing while I was outside working - it was 7pm. I was finally able to go walking in the woods alone at 5pm when it wasn't dark. I absolutely love the longer days. It makes me want to get out more, and enjoy the daylight. Its also a lot fucking better when you get out of work around 5 and you have more than an hour of daylight to do what you need to. |
I also lost one hour of sleep, and because of that, I was very tired when I came in to work at 7am today. *yawn* I ended up taking a VTO (Voluntary Time-Off) 'cause I couldn't hack it anymore.
*sigh* Which reminds me. Good night. |
I woke up really tired and cranky today. And it continued on for the rest of the day.
|
Down with this outdated crap!
Getting up today was awful, so the afternoon was reserved for Massivenap™ |
Lost 1 hour of sleep to get rest before going to a basketball game.
|
I actually lost time by staying up to what I thought was almost 3am. I had to be awake at 8am, so I actually got four hours of sleep. Setting clocks forward and back is pretty annoying.

Yeah. I definitely got hammered that night after putting on an annual show that an organization I'm in does. I passed out on my vacuum cleaner at 3am (4am). I was supposed to be back for clean-up at 1pm. Fuck that shit.
|
I remember when they tried doing DST in my country as well.... haha I only experienced it once and not everyone did care about it :3 They didnt try it again... lol

I was so happy when I learned that it was time to set the clocks forward. Since I didn't set my watch back an hour in the fall, I eventually decided that I'd just wait for DST to come back around. I mean, as long as I know that my clock is an hour ahead of everyone else's, what's the harm?
|
Y'know I didn't mind the whole changing the clocks to an hour forward, but when I woke up really late and go to work super late, I kind of had to get ticked off with it. And my cell phone is old now that it didn't change the time for me this time. Eh I'll get use to it soon.
|
I really do not like DST at all. I'm much more used to having the sky go dark earlier than 8:00 PM and the Sun rise around 6:00 AM.
I had a lousy last two days getting my mind wrapped around "saving daylight" again. |
My roommate graciously reminded me that the clocks were moving forward, so I didn't miss class this morning. Thank you, roommate.
|
What pisses me off is the timeclock where I work moved up an hour, but they still have yet to set it to the correct time (it's eight minutes fast, and gaining). I lost an hour of sleep yesterday, they should pay me triple overtime for that!
|
i didnt even notice that the time changed till i was late for my class in the morning.... <.<' its as if nobody knew it was gonna happen.... nobody told me anything, my girlfriends work didnt remind her... which btw she was late to work as well... -.-zz lol
