I want my hour back (page 2)

Alpaca

A good trick that I learned from a friend of mine is to start getting up 5 minutes earlier than your regular time beginning 2 weeks before the change. If you do that you barely even notice it.

I have just learned to deal with it. No complaining. It's gonna happen... unless you live in Arizona (or Hawaii?)

But. I will tell a tale from eons gone-by. I used to work in radio. I was an announcer (if you can call it that), and had the midnight to 6am shift on the weekends.

So - I'd go in to work at midnight Saturday - and Sunday - and get off at 6am. The Fall - turning back the clocks - was the worst - I actually worked 7 hours - not 6. In the Spring - I worked 5 hours - not 6.

Just something that we don't normally think about.

I'm an adaptable person and have no problems with the time changes. I do enjoy the extra time in the afternoons in the summer. I don't think anyone is really affected by the change--they just like to bitch, imo.

I hate the time changes. We should have a single one all year.

Point proven.

You could do what I do and refuse to participate as a form of civil disobedience. This is my second year not going along with the clock change. If Im late Im late. If Im early Im early. You'll just have to live with it.

It's kinda like a mini jet lag.

my television is my alarm clock
and i slept thru 15 minutes of
the news before jolting awake
with a head that felt like it was
stuffed with a pillow.... once again
stumbling around in the dark
AND cold... prodding teenaged
schoolboys out of bed..... grrr

i hate this artificial time crap

I want my hour back
