    Default Sleep

    So like everyone else, I enjoy my sleep, but this morning I awoke to find the clock reading 4am, time to go to work, then my secondary alarm on my phone went off signaling it is 0403am so i go though my normal work routine of making enough food to last the 12 hour shift that I work, I proceed to work only to find the clock at work reading......4am?????????? guess who made th rookie mistake and forgot to set his clock back. This guy. So how meany people forgot to set their clocks back last night and showed up early somewhere this morning?

    Didn't do it this year, but I've done it in the past. Really ticks you off when you realize you missed an hour of sleep doesn't it.

    I do all of ours before I go to bed then I don't have SWMBO nagging on me to do the resets on Sunday morn.

    Which brings up a good question. How many do you reset?

    2 Cars
    Stove
    Microwave
    2 Alarm clocks
    Clock in man cave

    At least all the phones, computers and TV reset themselves.

    That's a bummer man. I live in Arizona and we don't have to deal with the time changes, however, a few years ago I owned a "smart" alarm clock that automatically would adjust the time. The only problem was it did not have an "Arizona/No change" setting, so I've been burned by that darn thing twice, once up an hour early and once up an hour late. The hour early wasn't to bad, but the hour late of course translated into being late for work and when you're the one who opens the place, that's not a good thing. Needless to say, I no longer have a "smart" alarm clock.

    I didn't have that happen to me today; yesterday, however, I woke up and proceeded to head to work early thinking that the time change was Saturday. Don't know what I was thinking...much less excusable than your troubles this morning!

    You'd think I'd understand daylight savings time after living with it for 23 years...

    Round these parts we don't got no luxury conveniences like clocks and things and cell what???

    When the sun comes up it's time to get up and go to work and at sundown it's time to quit work and at high noon we stop and eat lunch.
