You ignorant friggin’ morons! Putting the clocks forward DOES NOT GIVE YOU AN EXTRA HOUR OF SUNLIGHT! You get the same amount, it’s just shifted by one hour! Ye Gods, we have to share the planet with this lot. —Timekeeper

OB ,I agree, just set the fucking clock to a time & FUCKING LEAVE IT THERE !
Supposedly the people in Saskatchewan voted 2 to 3 in a poll to leave the fucking clock alone !
THe only Province in the Country with half a clue !
The theory of relativity says I get an extra hour of sunlight–if I always wake after sunrise.
= p
Does that mean I should wait at least two hours (instead of one) after eating before I go swimming?
I just don’t like how it’s staggered globally… makes conference calls and syncing up with those brits a second-guessing nightmare.
damn bush and his bush-wacky antics.
So, you go to bed an hour earlier and you get up an hour earlier… I don’t really see what the problem is there.
Honestly, if it weren’t for the regular clock on my wall in my room, I wouldn’t’ve even noticed anything had changed because all my other clocks change themselves automatically.
… I just went to bed last night at 9-10pm like I always do and got up at 5:30am, and I’m not more tired or energetic than I usually am on a monday. *shrug*
I don’t see what the big deal is.
(except what you said zZz — that would be annoying)
For me its my internal clock.
If you don’t have one of those…or your not tuned to yours , you’ll never notice !
I’m tuned into my internal clock, but getting up before noon is pretty much tramatic to my system regardless, so 5:30 versus 4:30 — really doesn’t make much difference. It’s going to suck for me either way 😛
I’m a late riser/late bed goer and one of my great talents is sleeping.
and getting on here bitching about it makes you what? an asshole for even bothering to write about it. leave these humans and their silliness alone. we of altaire 6, get a laugh out of them. and we just despise idiots like you, for trying to get them to smarten up.

hmmm if I get off work at 5pm and it gets dark at 6, and now it gets dark at 7, doesn’t that give me an extra hour outside in the sun? winning.
It’s fun to see who shows up for work one hour later on Monday.
