    [​IMG] For those SPers who use daylight savings time, don't forget to set your clocks back 1 hour tonight! That extra hour is valuable BoM posting time. ;)

    Well, I didn't want to hear anyone complaining later that I'm an hour behind? WTF?

    Pass one to me please and thank you, chev. :beer:

    Oh, anybody in a place that doesn't do DST? I know Indiana (US) and Saskatchewan (Canada) don't. Boy, oh boy! A whole hour to get further ahead of ofelix in the post count! :evil: :p

    Is it finally here!?!? :banana:

    YES! Finally, I get back that hour of sleep the government stole from me last spring! :rolleyes:

    IIRC, Arizona does not "do" DST, but the Navajo Indian Reservation within the state *does*. :confused: :rolling:

    Hey my dad's working 9pm to 9am - that means instead of a 12 hour shift he's doing a 13 hour shift. Try telling him that putting the clocks back is a good thing :grin:

    According to CNN (It's about time, the link in the middle left) Arizona, Indiana, Samoa, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands do not apply the new daylight saving time.
    Here, we do; and as Shell's father, lots of people will work an hour for free :nono:

    Funny DST story from my mom. She worked in a nursing home in the mid 70s and usually the overnight shift (10-6). They got a call at the nurses' station that there was a bomb in the building and it would explode at 2am. Well, mom called the cops and everyone evacuated while the fire dept. had a search. Officials said it was okay to go back inside. Mom asks the fire marshall, "What if it's the other 2am?" A second evacuation followed. :lol:

    I'm happy to get back to 'regular' time, too.

    Extra hour of babbling here. I slept until the normal time and then changed my clocks back an hour just before logging onto SP. :D

    Daylight saving time started 4 weeks ago. And we put our clocks forward, not back at this time of the year.
