I had no idea that daylight savings was going to be today. Didn't see anything via web/tv news at all.
The change totally messed up the alarm clock on my Droid... the alarm which was set for 2:45am (and now showed as set for 3:45) did not go off... I awoke and saw my Droid clock showing 5:15 yet all the other clocks were at 4:15... I was late, discombobulated and not very cheery!
My Sunday is sort of tainted now... and I've lost an hour and a half somewhere... d@mn daylight savings time changes!!
Did anyone else get bamboozled by this daylight savings changeover?

Thats why I use my phone as my alarm clock. The alarm adjusts itself as does the clock. I woke up this morning and everything was darker than usual.

|  | Yeah, I've got the moves like Jagger. | | Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: G.R. MI | | | I knew all about it ahead of time. I got home from my gig at 4:45 (daylight savings time) got up about 11:00, and figured it was going to be a snap. I was falling asleep in the recliner last night at 9:00...... I had it this daylight savings stuff down pat!!
I didn't sleep for crap last night. I made it to work on time, but I'm ready to go home now!

Mike | I'm not taking advice from a man who can't even spell moustache!! 
But we do change time - just not yet - it's not British Summer Time yet!
