'Shindig'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Timelies all!
The only problem I have with earlier DST is that the one VCR that automaticly shifts for DST is gonna be confused. I'm going to have to shift the time forward on Sunday, and then shift it back in three weeks when DST would normally be. I know, such a First World problem.
So, interview seemed to go well. Hopefully I'll hear back from them soon about coming in for the technical interview.
Have a second interview with a place for a contract-to-hire position tomorrow at 10am. At least I know I didn't blow the first interview there, but they're definitely my second choice as it's help desk instead of desktop support.
Sheryl, can you turn off the VCR's DST adjustment option? I know that mine lets me do that (and thanks for reminding me to switch it off!!).

There was bacon brittle in the green room today. Ew.

How does that work? I thought they got the time/date from the broadcast/cable signal.

I am both grossed out and desirous of this. My reaction is something akin to the alternating expressions of joy and terror on Fry and Zap Brannigan's faces when they heard they were to be snu snu-ed to death.
I live in the desert. Were it not for cable, I would never need to know what DST was.
aurelia, some do, some don't -- not the older models.
My Sony Dream Machine radio alarm clock has a dedicated DST button. You have to remember to press it twice a year, but then it's only one button, which strikes me as a simple but elegant solution.
Sweet and savory can be very good, like when a little bit of the maple syrup from your pancakes gets on your bacon. I would have to try it, I fear.
In t me ="whinger" news, I have added a secondary treatment to Nora's excellent recommendation of the heating pad. Both my mum (who had to pick the kids up for me, because my back was so bad I didn't think I could drive) and my husband recommended I take some wine as a muscle relaxant, instead of taking ibuprofen (since it gave me a headache). They too are GENIUS. I've gotten one glass down, and have the heating pad wrapped around me, and feel better than I've felt all day.
My friend makes "Pig Candy" at his wine bar [link] and it is delicious! Thick cut bacon with a mapley flavor. So tasty!
You should market that cure, Cindy.
I think I have a switch on my iHome alarm clock thingy that needs to be switched for DST. Good thing I know where the owner's manual is, that's the only one that really needs to be correct right away. It'll be kind of a fun experiment to see which of my timekeeping devices change on their own. I know some do, normally.
