Spring Has Sprung Forward: Never Mind about your clocks; it's Over

WohooO! Here's to living in a place which is on DST year round and does not change clocks. Thanks for the reminder that the rest of you do.

Yech. I hate changing the clocks and feeling discombobulated for a couple days. Thanks for the reminder though, Medievalist.

The fall time change doesn't bother me. The spring one messes me up for weeks. Thanks for the reminder.

I hate spring forward. I lose an hour of sleep, and it messes up my sleep cycle. And this year it also happens to be at the very beginning of finals week at school, so I'm going to be a little out of it while I'm taking my exams.

But not in the UK. British Summer Time doesn't start until 27 March.

If you don't change your clocks, wouldn't you be in Standard time year round? DST is an abomination.

I'm at work tonight just as I have been every time for the last five years when the clocks are turned forward and turned backwards. I'm the guy who gets to do the turning.

Such are the pleasures of working the night shift.

Something like that. Technically we would traditionally have been in the MST time zone, but instead we are MST all summer and CST all winter because the provinces on either side of us change. Whatever we have, I think it's the better way to go.

I thought we spring forward on Sunday night?

It's supposed to be Sunday at 2:00 a.m, so in effect, it's tonight.

Also make sure to set your clocks faster by 1.6 microseconds because of that earthquake in Japan. It will make an hour difference every 6.2 eons.

So - you know you're a geek, right?

Ah nice one! Was getting a little confused then....

I didn't know anywhere else did DST

Bloody Americans, always getting in there first. Not that it would make much difference if we changed our clocks to BST now or in two weeks. Still feels like winter to me.

It's quite warm down here today. The Scots are getting a lot of snow though.

Must just be local to me, then.

And I'd love to see that big yellow thing in sky. Remember that? It's been hiding behind grey for months.
