US Daylight Savings Time Comes 3 Weeks Early


I s'pose I'm the only one who didn't know about this already?

Yeah, I forgot all about that. It changes next week already if I remember. Poop!

Goodnight for now.

I just recently found out, heard a little bit about it but wasnt paying attention to when (or even WHAT YEAR).

I don't like it when I read your posts.

Daylight savings coming to you means we're about to lose it! NOT HAPPY at all about that, I want it to stay warm, light and summer all year round.

Surely, not too much to ask!?

I know... I'm just not thrilled as I wonder why and how the hell this was done!

Hey, was thinking of you... when do you visit Peanut and Laura? I'm off Wed & Thurs.

i only know about it because im in the software industry, and so my team had to test and approve the patch that would fix servers figuring out when DST was

I wasn't aware....I just wait for someone to say that we set the clocks next week and that's good enough for me. that's all a bunch of hooey anywho. Just another clever scheme for the man to take our money.

I'm just laughing my ass off right now.

Indiana just switched to doing DST last year. That was one of my favorite things about this damn state...we didn't ever change the clocks back! Now it's all ridiculous...half the state goes Central time and half the state goes Eastern, except a bunch of little farm towns that were like "hell no, we don't even use clocks, we're not changing the time just because the governor said so!"

Don't feel bad, I didn't know about it until a couple weeks back when thebruce posted about it. He works with computers.

[magp.livejournal.com]

Nope. I didn't know about it, either.

[oneleggedman.livejournal.com]

Yes, I have known about it for 2 or 3 weeks now, Hey are you coming to the meetup on tommorrow?

[whereisjoy.livejournal.com]

I count this as the only good thing W has done.

I've been in DST hell at $BEER, as it affects Outlook users (read: everyone) and Blackberry users (read: 20% of all employees). Everyone is scheduled to be working properly...Friday, which cuts it really damn close.

i've known about it for a while, which is why work has been hell lately...

I predict human sacrifices, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.

It's not as if I ever know what time it is to within an hour in the first place, so... :)

Tuesdays and Thursdays.

[violachic.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's tomorrow! Well... maybe, I am doing something during the day, it will depend on how I feel at the end of it :-)

[tanyad.livejournal.com]

hmm... dunno what I'm up to yet, but maybe we can do something this weekend?

Should the People Playing Along At Home be worried about doing anything to their computers, et al?

[grayleo.livejournal.com]

microsoft has put out a patch, which you've probably already received if you have windows update set to run automatically. if not, you can go to their website to grab it...it's mostly harmless for the at home players ;)

[violachic.livejournal.com]

After a very unfortunate experience at work a couple years ago when my browser got hijacked, I make a point of keeping my own computer set to update automatically. I should be all good, then :-)

Winter ahead, Fall back just doesn't have the same ring to it.

[unhipster.livejournal.com]

I hate how people always say we get an "extra hour of daylight". CHANGING THE CLOCKS DOES NOT AFFECT THE EARTH'S ROTATION! Er, ahem.
