So I appreciate the notice. Yes, my devices are old, but they still work and do what I want them to, so until that changes I don't feel a need to spend money on new ones. Well, we do have a couple of other clocks in the house that don't, but my mother changes them at about 3 pm on Saturday. oy. One woman that used to work where I work, she apparently always missed the memo. On the following Monday always an hour early or late depending on time of year.

Ternaugh Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 At one of my jobs, we had someone who was always late on the Monday after time change, and it didn't matter which way the clocks went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 You go to bed that early? Note: Working 2nd shift for me it was easier to adjust by staying up all night and sleeping during the day. Good luck finding any 1st shifter who can contemplate that thinking with lines like "I know you work 2nd shift but you should be up by 10 am" 2nd Note: Of course, get up at 10 am and do what? Are there more interesting programs on at 10 am than 4 am? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at least I don't have to change my timepieces to save daylight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
