Dont you mean its one hour forward? In the spring its forward and in the autumn its one hour back right?
Absence is to love as wind is to a flame. It extinguishes the little, it ignites the great.

Life is a test. It is only a test. Had this been real life you would have have been instructed where to go and what to do.

When i argue with reality I lose.....But only 100% of the time.

Once you've decided on a course of action, only you can finish it. As long as you remember that, there's nothing you can't accomplish.

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!)

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

You find that you have a weapon, an instrument that
will give you power over the wind and sea.
In one word, you can stop time. It is a weapon
so powerful that even God will bow
down to you and all his angels fall at your feet.
What would you do with it?

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!

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! :P 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,
