Thread: Don't forget to change those clocks tonight!

Move em back tonight and also change those fire detector batteries!

Hehe, last Sunday when I woke up and checked out my computer it said the time was 7:00 AM and all my other clocks said 8:00, so I thought "Oh, that's right, it must be Daylight Savings Time." So I set all my clocks back. Later that day Dan came up to me and said "What time is it because my computer says it is an hour earlier?" I told him it was Daylight Saving Time and that we were going to get an extra hours sleep that night.

Monday morning I get out of the shower and my phone is ringing, it is my work wondering where I am . I don't have to be at work until 8, but I always get there about 7:30 or so, and they are worried something happened to me because it is 8:05 and I am never late. I laughed and told them they all forgot to turn their clocks back last night, but then they gave me the bad news.........Daylight Savings Time isn't until THIS WEEKEND!!

I have no idea why the clock in our computers were set back a week early, but they are. All I know is I was the butt of a few jokes this week at work and they all reminded me that THIS is the weekend to set them back. I'm not taking any chances...........I'm going to be at work at 6 AM Monday morning.

Sounds like a misstep in your O/S or program that controls these time changes. It doesn't know that the Feds changed the dates for the Spring and Fall changes. But not sure why that would happen becuase I am sure that there has been updates for that. Unless of course yours does not include DST changes.

I'm not sure what my pc's will do, I might even have to manually change them.

Of course another answer could be is that your computers know you to be a man ahead of his time and so adjusted accordingly.

Don, that’s like our smoke detector, it started beeping three days ago reminder to change the battery. It must have been on the old time also.

I have to try to get outside while the weather is still nice suppose to be in the 60's for the next week. It was 27 a couple of nights ago.

I wish the time could be turned back to 1950.........now THAT would be cool !!

Don

id go for 1954-1978 and start all over again

I seem to recall that last year they changed the date for daylight savings time. No one told my computer, and it has been on dst for a week already.

As I am too lazy to reset the clock, I'll just wait it out.

Even a broke clock is right twice a day.

Heard this some where..............Indian proverb:
Only a white man could think that by taking a foot off the top of the blanket and put it on the bottom of the blanket ,he would have a longer blanket.

Lost your job yet?
Keep buying foreign.

I just wish they would quit the changing of the time. Leave at DST or Std Time and be done with it. There use to be a place in Illinois (or Indiana) that elected not to change the time. If they still do it that way, guess I could always move there.

you just need to update your OS so it knows the new daylight savings time dates, as it did change... there is an update for windows that fixes it, if that's what you have.. Vista won't need it, but XP does if it's not done already.... today my computer ( Linux box ) booted up and had it was an hour behind what it should have been.. the OS is a fully updated version so I thought somthing was wrong.. then I rebooted and the time was right.. kinda weird.

Clocks???? Don't need no stinkin' clock!!!! When it's light, ya work on a Hot Rod, when it's dark, turn on a light and keep working!!!! When you get tired, sleep. When you get up, work on a Hot Rod!!!!! Oh yeah, every once in awhile stop long enough to give your dog a hug...

Changing the physical clocks is the easy part, it's the body clocks that prove more of a challenge. And I'm not talking about mine, but rather the kitties. We have a routine: I get up at 5:00, start the coffee pot after the usual toiletry duties, then feed the cats. That means they usually have food in the bowls around 5:15-20. They have no concept of clocks, just routine. So no surprise, this morning little Emma (being the female means she's more demanding, right? ) is standing on me meowing away, probably cat for "get your dead butt out of bed.............I'm hungry!!!". A look at the clock says it's "only" 4:39. Oh well, my body clock hasn't fully adjusted yet either and I was already in the early stages of awakening so what the heck!
