Hi Raq! Do they turn back the clocks in Greece, too?

I have to go around this morning and fix up all the non-computer-y clocks in the house. If I waited for The Roommate to do it, I might as well wait for Spring Forward to fix it all.

Timelies! The time change means I've been awake since 4, not 5. Sigh.

move out and draw fire

Yep, time change happened today here also. Which means I actually got enough sleep, and got up early enough to hear the church bells.

The extra hour thing is nice.

I got most of the clocks changed. My Sony Dream Machine cd/radio/alarm clock actually has a DST button, which most of the year I look at in disgust but actually turns out to be really handy twice a year. And my new Palm (Zire 72s) not only changed on its own, but it gave me a nice little message telling me that it had.

Swouncing

Oh, so the clocks were turned tonight? Good to know.

In Israel they were turned 3 weeks ago (right before Yom Kippur. The fast lasts for 25 hours, from the sunset to the following day's evening. When the clock is turned, it gets dark in an earlier hour, and therefore it makes the fast somewhat easier, even though it still lasts the same amount of time). It was very confusing for me to think that I know the time difference, and then to have to re-do it because of the yes/no turning of the clocks. For some reason, that one hour that's taken and brought back is one of the most confusing things in the whole wide world.

I did the same thing, msbelle, except for the being late, since I am the first one up.

It was very cool of them to name the thread after me, wasn't it?

Also, from the last Natter:

EAT IT PERKINS!

Kat is mean, and I am sorry I wasn't here to help kill the thread.

I am not sure what kind of Dr. one goes to about delusions, but you need to make an appt. post haste.
