At the risk of picking nits .... it's Daylight Saving Time.
But yeah, for me it's just a lost hour of sleep. Personally, I think that they should push the clocks forward in the middle of the afternoon. I could do with an hour less of work!
When I get the hour back, I always end up doing something other than sleeping. Usually reading or watching a movie.

Re: Reretaken Down
With the new regulations for Daylight Saving Time, my birthday occasionally falls on the "spring forward" date (and did last year), robbing me of an hour of MY DAY, dammit!
I blame the Republicans.

Re: Reretaken Down
I have one of those atomic clocks in the bedroom that shines the time on the ceiling. The first year I had it, I set my alarm just before 2:00 AM. That way I could be up and see the clock go straight from 1:59 to 3:00.
Yes, I'm that dorky.

Re: Reretaken Down
Wait- I thought you and I got into a good-natured debate about this on a recent clock change when I whined about someone adding an "S" to saving. Wasn't it you that said it didn't matter? Probably not here (but could've been). I'm thinking it was in KJs place.econgator wrote:At the risk of picking nits .... it's Daylight Saving Time.
Perhaps it wasn't you. Hell, I'm not even sure I was involved. Probably two other people.

Re: Reretaken Down
Speaking of DST... I had intended to modify the phpBB code so that boardies would not have to log into their respective user panels and change the setting come Sunday morning, but, as yet, I haven't.
We should probably put a big sticky on the main page reminding them.
Or let them have the wrong time for a few months before they notice.

I was pretty proud of myself when I finally figured out how to put the (current) time back on the board, after it had been missing for a while.

Re: Reretaken Down
I once spent a whole weekend in Phoenix without knowing the correct time (in the days before phones did it for you), and only learned what time it really was when I showed up an hour early at a reception on Sunday evening.

And thanks to barandall for the overt praise. Just felt I should let you know your comment generated one contented smile among the many thoughts of "Don't encourage him!" scattered throughout the land.

Re: Reretaken Down
I realized I hadn't read it yet when I saw barandall's comment, so just did. (Agreed, well said. As are most of those comments of yours!)
At first I didn't see the nit econgator was picking, since Bill's got it right. But then I see the tag has the noun, not the verb. Nice catch by econ!
ETA: oh- just saw the above comment by Bill. Presume it was fixed in the article? My bad!
