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?

:atoz:

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.

That's because the English aren't smart enough to manipulate time the way we are. Many historians believe that's the reason they lost the colonies: sleeping in. In fact, the whole stereotype of bad teeth you guys got came from the assumption that you're running late half the year and the only way to catch up is to cut back on personal hygene. I know, I don't believe it either, but it's out there.

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!
