Whatthehell?!?!? We set our clocks forward THIS weekend?

Re: Whatthehell?!?!? We set our clocks forward THIS weekend?

Have neither gained nor lost that extra hour of sleep in a few years. Hell, I can't remember the last time I was in bed before 2 a.m.

 

Wouldn't it be one less hour of work if you move the clocks forward an hour?

 

East of Wheeling and Youngstown?

 

Volleyball at the beach next week. Yippee!!!

 

Sadly, Indiana has adopted daylight savings time, thus ending generations of mindbending confusion around this time of year.

I remember a great AP story a few years ago about how, because of the state's two time zones and its refusal to adopt DST, the state was losing businesses and nobody could figure out what the hell time it was. There were goofy things, too, like if you lived in the Central time zone and worked in the Eastern time zone, you'd leave at 6:30 to drive 30 minutes to work, and get there at 9.

 

Arizona still doesn't follow DST. I always get confused when I call my friends in Phoenix about what time it is there.

 

Dammit! Took me years to figure all that out.

 

Hmmm...yes, you would be right. Except not for me in this case because I get off at 2. So no change in my hours.

Poop!

 

I had to work an hour of mandatory overtime when we set the clocks back. That kind of sucked.

 

My head hurts reading that. 6:30 to 9? Central standard to Eastern daylight would mean I'd need to have 2 clocks in my house.

 

Kentucky is divided, almost in half, by the Eastern and Central time zones.

One of our schools baseball/basketball/softball/volleyball teams play in a region where all of the schools are on Central time, and every team from the region hates traveling to said school for games.

Heck, my county has both time zones for some reason. Granted the time zone line is only a few feet (maybe 50-75) from the county line where there are almost no houses, but it's still weird.

 

Thank goodness. I'll take any extra sun I can get right now. Plus, the extra hour of daylight helps with the snow melt.
