How I spent my extra hour this year

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Gee, you’re lucky. Living in Arizona I don’t have to change but I had an atomic clock, from Oregon Scientific that insisted on changing. The first time it happened was in the spring. I got up when the alarm went off and drove to work. Since this was four in the morning the sky was dark and the radio station I listen to has a red-eye program on, normal happenings for that early. It was when I got inside and saw the clock on the wall was an hour earlier than it ought to be I figured it out. I wound up sitting at my desk for an hour before it was time to log in.

When I got home I reset the clock, easy-peasy, right? Wrong. The next morning it had gone forward an hour again. Luckily I confirmed the time with my watch before heading out. I kept resetting the clock and kept insisting on daylight savings for more than a month. I wound up just changing the alarm time the rest of the time I had the stupid thing because I was never sure when it would give up trying to DST.

That was super annoying. Even worse was when we would miss a clock and then freak out because we were late.

I’m not a big fan of time changes at all.

I was in central time, and returned to eastern time just a couple of days before the change. So basically, i waited for the clocks to catch up to my circadian rhythm.

This is why Saskatchewanian snowbirds fly south to Arizona. We like your approach to clocks.

I used to do a race in Chicago that is the first Sun in Nov. Between an hour time zone change from EDT to CDT during the flight out on Sat & then an hour for the clock change it was a quite leisurely wake up on Sun to be there at 7am.
I miss doing that race but am otherwise occupied closer to home for different events this past weekend.

First time in six years I was in a non-changing jurisdiction on the date. So no variation in the schedule.
