aw poo. That stinks. Not only does it mean an hour less to sleep, it means that I have to find a way to change my watch.

grrr I have to get up tomorrow at 5:00 to catch a plane and with daylight savings it'll really be like... 4:00 T__T Luckily I'm flying east, so once I get back home the time change won't feel so drastic.

It was my computer that reminded me to turn back my clock at the end of daylight saving. I just happened to notice time was 'wrong'.
(Yay for extra hour of sleep!)

I had to fiddle with the new DVD/VCR player to get the clock changed.

With Australia being directly on the opposite side of the globe, I imagine the DST dates are switched.

hey... is it just me or did CAA's clock not spring forward an hour? it says it's 10 PST now but it's really 11 according to atomic clock (that is, time.windows.com)...

LOL...I still haven't set my watch forward. It is one of those watches with no numbers...just four little silver dashes for 12, 3, 6 and 9....
it keeps messing me up everytime I look at it....
but, seriously, time changes don't affect me too much accept that I love that it gets darker later now.
Easier for me to get home when it is light outside after work because I can therfore WALK istead of having to beg for a ride.
Life would be a heck of a lot easier if I could afford a car, let me tell you that much!

I almost wrecked my truck the other day trying to set the stupid clock ahead lol. I forgot about it, and driving along I was like. "Dang I am early" Oh wait...

Tsk, tsk. Distracted driving.
My mother remembers everything. She set the clocks forward before bed, as usual. Unfortunatley, she missed one. The one Dad keeps by the desk to clock how long he plays Civ. That night he played 'til four, thinking that it was three.

long live AZ, land of no daylight saving time!
Really though, I don't know what I would do if I moved, I've never had to edit my clocks so I would probobly forget every single year... consequently I would drive everyone nuts. By the way, why don't they do away with it, it is a pain in the neck and Arizona isn't missing out on anything by NOT having it. Just my thoughts,

*laughs* Did you see my post on the other thread Pascal? I said the same thing about your avatar. Soon it will spread, and all of CAA will don the masks....
