ew...

Lord help me. I have this horrible telemarketing project to do, and 2 hours to fill before I go home....

I can handle telemarketing in the morning... not in the afternoon!!!

*looks at clock, prays*

please go, please go!

Shun the telemarketer! Shun the telemarketer!

I have no horror project, but horror hour comprehension.

Yes, it's coming up the time change thing. Yes, I know the phrase that's supposed to make it make sense, but it doesn't.

Please, on Saturday night/Sunday morning coming up, does 6 am turn into 7 am?

We lose an hour. Move your clocks up one hour.

What is now six a.m. will be seven a.m. on DST.

Thank you. sigh, but thank you. As if jerking my schedual back five hours wasn't hard enough, now it's six hours.

Thanks, at least I won't be late, just really cranky.


For AC

Well, look at the bright side (pun intended!). At least it will be daylight longer in the evening (according to the clock).

Around here it starts getting dark now around six o'clock; on DST it will be around seven.

oh just one of the many joys of spring...

My Bradford pear tree is ready for spring . . . it's in full bloom.

And blooming rather nicely, I assume.

shun the feline of revelation!

I do not wish for 6 am to become 7 am!!!

Not that I ever see 6 am....

I do not with joy and song greet 6 or even 7 am. Sometimes I'm forced to and it would be this weekend when 6 is 7 instead of still being 6.

song

song


song sung



song done

You heard no music? nothing wrong with your ears. That was the song without music. The song for 6 am that is suddenly 7 am so I have to get up at 5 am that is now going to be 6 am.

so not math friendly.

It should be 5pm the world over, continuously. That'd solve so many problems!

"Hey, can you do..?"
"Nope, it's 5. Time to go home."

You might start a little early rather than waiting until Sunday. You could set your alarm clock so it's on DST starting Friday. You would have an "extra" hour in the morning to wake up and get ready.

Usually it's not a lot of fun getting up Monday morning anyway. This would give you a few days to adjust.

I had to work back six hours.

So I started last week pushing the time back an hour every two days. It takes awhile to adjust to each new time and the storms kinda threw a kink in it. But it was going to fit perfectly.

I know I can't just flip it. I mean not if I'm going to have to drive or think or be civil. Or actually do anything except sit in a corner and whimper because I didn't get any sleep.

I suppose I shouldn't complain, I'm close to where I need to be, and we ducked the storms. It was just working out so well and now it's not. WHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeee.

Okay, I'm done. I think. Maybe.

But, AC, you are right, it is much better to start early and work back slowly.

I'm a morning person; most of my friends are not.

Me: Good morning.

Them: What's good about it?

Me: It's the start of another glorious day.

Them: Shut the hell up!

(I cleaned up the language a bit; they don't actually use the word "hell".)

I don't know how people who work on shifts manage it. My grandpa used to flip his days/nights in one afternoon. Even at the pre-age ten I noticed and was impressed.

Thank you for telling me how it worked the 6 to 7 thing. I was afraid of that and wanted to jerk it back like AC said on Friday, 'cause I have to park in a new parking garage several tiers and that could be interesting.

I never was a morning person, used to sleep late when I was 4 years old. My sis would be in watching Tazan (black and white Johnny W.) and I'd be sleeping away.

Once I started writing it got worse. But I've moved the writing to in the afternoon - took several years - instead of from midnight on.

All right in different offices I discovered that people actually avoided talking to me until after 10 am. By then I'd finished at least one pot of coffee.

Always was a little jealous of morning people. The world seems made to fit them, somehow.

Never park on the ramp part if you can help it.

I think the key to doing shift work is to power down 3 or 4 coffees as soon as you wake up.

At least, that's what I'd do...
