Daylight savings time.

One major problem I have with DST falling back one hour is that I'm "regular" at 6:00 a.m., but get to sleep an extra hour. That gets a little messy.

I've heard many complaints about DST...but the OP's is a first for me.

I set my alarm for 6:00 AM on days with full schedules. Today was a full day so the standard 6:00 alarm was on line and I woke as always but felt a bit off. Made coffee and turned on the computer to find I had woke at 5:00 AM due to the time change. Confused until I see it is DST at it's best.

On a slight threadjack from the OP...
I've been back in Indiana since 2007 (left for the AF in 1986). Grew up in the Salem area, slow time and fast time means something. If you take out the years overseas with no DST, it took me 14 years to get used to DST.

Eh, Depends!!

 

[Tranquil]

What I hate about it is I always forget to change my coffee pot timer. So the first day (much like today) the smell pulls me out of bed at 4am instead of 5!

Eh, Depends!!

I see what you did there!

I changed all my clocks Saturday night before bed. Stayed awake the extra hour and still woke up at my regular time which was an hour early this morning. Ah well, at least I didn't mess the bed.

That's a new one.

Reminds me of when BJ (Bill Jefferson) Clinton was on a late-night and was asked if he wore boxers or briefs. Not long after that, someone asked George Burns the same question, and he replied, "depends." What a hoot. They don't make them like that anymore.

Day-light saving ... contrary to popular belief, there is no 's' on the word saving.

If we have to be stuck with this stupid, stupid time changing debacle, then can we at least use the correct term.


One of the best things about Indiana was that we didn’t have to change the clocks twice a year … thank a lot Mitch!

However, since this retarded practice has been around a lot longer than digital clocks, you’d think that all the digital clock manufacturer’s would have a +/- hour button … another epic failure.

Another really nice feature in Indiana was no traffic circles … now they’re everywhere and the Hill Billy’s that live here still think there’s a stop sign at every intersection.

* sigh * I need to get to the range for some recoil therapy.

Lets GO !!!!!

yeah, yeah, yeah ... and there should be a question mark after the word term ... a word smith I am not. Guess I better add an additional session at the range for some intense recoil therapy ... or is it sessions ... I'm so confused.

 

[nebulous]

I would vote for abolishing it nationwide. Just seems to create a lot of confusion for not much benefit.

I think there are much deeper issues than just the clock re-set involved here....Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[snapping turtle]

I believe we should call it regular time and daylight wAisting time.
