Daylight Saving Time

[jamil]

I would bet for the slow clock it's time to change the battery. I think the fast clock would be great for a shorter work day.

When I was a kid my mom kept her clock 15 minutes ahead so that she'd have a "buffer". I knew this because when we were leaving late, she'd say, "we still have 15 minutes."

Always nice to remember the stuff from our childhood. My aunt didn't drive and told us we had to run 15 block so we weren't late and it was only 5 blocks.

I used to love the 'fall back' extra hour of sleep...but my 2-year old doesn't comprehend any of this. I gain nothing

I'm not a big fan of having to be at work for an extra hour.

I usually keep my desk clock at work set about 5 minutes fast for this very reason.

The joys of working nights. Do you get paid for working the extra hour?

Yes, but it's not worth it.

Yes, but it's not worth it.

The job or the pay?

ATM must be saving his energy for the final (annual) bout.

Final? Is ATM ok? Or is something changing with our temporal standardization?

Btw, I bought a portable sundial, so now I can recalibrate my watches and clocks to the “real” local time without intervention of bureaucrats! No, really!

How many years of saving daylight here in the Hoosier State? Of not saying slow time/fast time? I left Indiana in Feb 86. By the Spring of 2004 I was used to springing forward and falling back. A few more years and it will not even be thread-worthy.

DST sucks. In 10 years, it will suck. It shouldn't be dark at 6pm, it's not natural.

DST does suck. It has always bothered me that it's called daylight "saving" time. You can't "save" daylight. There's only X amount of daylight hours no matter where you put it on a clock.

Growing up in southern IN and now residing in NWI, DST is even rougher. 4:30pm and it's dark is just weird. Bust a** home after work to bust out the blower to blow leaves so I'm not out there with a flashlight is just unreal.

DST isn’t the issue really. It’s the time zone we are allocated to. It’s an issue, particularly at the switch twice a year, but the real issue is that we slign better with the Central Time Zone.

Nah. It sucks up here where we are in Central time too.

Just leave the damned clocks alone!
