Daylight Savings Time ends this weekend
 

Hey folks, remember that DST ends at 2am November 2nd (that'd be Sunday), so set your clocks back an hour!

Happy Happy sleep day! The best holiday of the year!

Yay! We gain an extra hour. What will you do with yours?

I'm thinking I'll sleep it away... yawn. I've been up too late nearly every day this week.

Sleep day? Man, does it suck being that old?

Happy Extra Hour of Partying Day!

Happy "crap, the commute is gonna be fvcked up for a month" day!

:rolleyes:

While I'm always happy for the Fall change of time, Spring's change reminds me why I think we need to do away with Daylight Saving's Time. Effing. Pointless. I mean, really... we have electricity. Eeeelectricity!

Actually, it was electricity that prompted DST to begin with, and the supposed saving thereof.

If it were up to me, we'd just permanently shift to DST. I much prefer daylight in the evening.

Yeah - but I won't be going to work when it's quite so dark... at least for another month until things catch up and it's dark again.

I hatez that people forget how to drive in the dark.

I prefer DST. But I hate the changing around of times - it always feels a bit arbitrary, and just... annoying.

I have to hear about it and end up talking about it every year, and I still talk about it, despite my annoyance. I smile while everyone cheers in the fall and jeers in the spring, all the while thinking "this is stupid." I'd rather talk about the weather.

So, about this time-change... anyone as pumped as I am? :D

OMG, it's been dark here for-EVAH. Light doesn't really come-round until quarter to 8 (probably due to latitude and mountains to the east), and goes down pretty quickly, too... I've already done a go to work in the dark, get home at dark kind of work day. I don't likes it.

And remember, kids, it's time to change those smoke detector batteries.

Personally, I hate that they screwed with when it happens.

Europe changed a few weeks ago. It makes things complicated when dealing with an office in Dublin.

True dat!

And Arizona does follow use DST. So for (roughly) half the year, the time is the same as Cali and is one hour ahead for the other half. Also annoying.

And the vibrator batteries.

I say we cut the difference and go 1/2 hour in between year round. That ought to really confuse everyone.

Break up the time zones in 6 minute increments all around the world (using absolute straight lines: none of this "following geography" caca de toro.

The sudden time change and driving home in the dark is the signal for me that the seasons are changing and we're heading towards the holidays. I like the transition.

Time change has meant suddenly sweaters.

It's really bizarre seeing your phone clock going from 1:59 to 1:00.

I also found it amusing that yesterday was t-shirt and flip flop weather and today was sweater weather.

Today Taylor woke up at 5am. I am so sleepy. I hope she sleeps in tomorrow.

I posted this in the so thread earlier, but my phone actually did the time change twice. I left it on hoping it would get stuck in an infinite loop, but it stopped at 2. After I powered it down and back on it was back to the correct time.

All this means for me is that The Daily Show is on at 10 now.

Ugh. It starts. The Dark Times.


Woe is me. I'll never see the Sun on weekdays till Spring!

Maybe you could eat lunch outside?

I thought this thread was announcing the fact that we will no longer be changing the clocks anymore as daylight savings time would be no more. I had heard somewhere that this is to be the last time. Anyone heard that?

I had forgotten about one benefit to being off DST. Having an evening commute that is 90% northbound, I'm glad that it is now in the dark rather than having the sun in my driver's side window the entire time.

Oh, I do see the Sun for an hour each day at lunchtime.

It's just my annual tradition of hyperbole .... and I couldn't let Isaac down. :cool:

You think that's bad? My drive home is westbound! Visors only do so much....

Methinks that is a bunch of hooey.

Although there is a movement to do so.

And I learned today that the correct nomenclature is is Daylight Saving Time - the middle word is singular (at least according to Snopes).
