Do not forget to set your clocks back 1 hour Saturday night (or Sunday at 2am if you're still awake).

(spring forward/fall back)

I should tell my boss that I was actually 45 minutes early this morning - I just turned my clock back 3 days early :)

Joy. I get to work 9 hours instead of 8.

ugh yes. I friggin hate daylight savings time, and this year I'm going to have to drive rush hour with all the sleep deprived people who can't drive in the first place (usually my classes were after 10 am). Joy.

Watch for more traffic posts from me in the things that piss you off thread.

This. I love it when they say "But you get it back in the spring" when in reality, the 'work 7 hours get paid for 8' day is usually only bosses and supervisors.

I must be totally retarded, because I don't understand how re-living an hour affects anyone's life.

One of my co-workers (on day shift) walked in at 5:45 AM to relieve my shift this morning (it ends at 7) - I asked him why he was so early (tongue in cheek) and he thought I meant he was 5-10 min early. It took about 5 minutes and an updated computer clock to make him realize his true mistake.
