The early time change is getting on my nerves. What fucking idiot decided to change the weeks when we do this. Everything is preprogrammed to change in 3 weeks and now I have to go in and manually change the times and in 3 weeks I'll have to go back and do it all over again. Then in the fall it will be the same shit over again. :veryangry::veryangry2:

we did it last night

 

I don't know what time is it :bigcry:

 

i'm sleepy and confused

William Willet, non other than Chris Martins Great Grandfather.:smug:

I knew that information would come in handy one day.:laugh4:

I don't mind the time change, it's just that they have changed the weekends when we do it. But all my electronics didn't get the memo. so now everything is fuckered and in 3 weeks when everything is programmed to change it will be fuckered again.

Yeahh, I have no clue what time it is here..:thinking:

Its either 12:34, or 11:34..

HAHAHA! Mandy, I was all ready to post the info about

William Wilet, but due to the time change, I got up an hour late, and I see you've beaten me to it. Ironic, no?:lol: :lol:

THat friggin' family's nothing but trouble, I say!!!:laugh3: :laugh3: :laugh3:

We haven't done the time change yet... but we will in two weeks, I believe.

Haha, I stayed up for the time change.

 

Why them moved it 3 weeks earlier--no friggin' clue. :freak:

I agree, I always hate this time change.

Weird!! Ours has stayed the same, so we won't be putting the clocks forward until 25th march

What time change?Do you have two time changes?:wacko:

It changes in the spring and in the fall. ITs just 3 weeks early here.

 

And this is the one where you lose an hours of sleep. It makes it hard to wake up in the mornings.

I like time changes because that moment you can really see how pointless all time-numbers are. I mean, the fact that people call a year exactly 365 days, not 3 days or 654795 days, you know. And that there're 60 seconds in one minute. This makes no sense at all because now what was 6 am yesterday is 7 am and all. So when someone says he's 45 or 31 or 87 you can really see how it all doesn't matter cause it's all just numbers people created to make their life easier but no shit, it just got more complicated. So if you think about time for quite a long time you understand it's endless and it's always the same, like right now is a minute ago and is two months ago and 18 years ago and 88984 years later and so on and when I think of it I feel like I'm going off my head.

ahhhh....now I understand....:)

 

 

hehe Lera......exactly my thoughts....for me it's like just changing the time on the clocks....and this makes no sense at all....at least I've got this impression....

14 days left until the U.K. goes onto British Summer Time :D

US time switch set to save energy

 

The US has switched to daylight saving time, or summer time, three weeks earlier than usual to cut fuel consumption and help the environment.

At 0200 EST (0700 GMT) clocks moved forward by an hour, shifting an hour of daylight from morning to evening.

 

Summer time will last until 4 November, a week later than in previous years.

 

The extra four weeks are expected to help cut energy consumption, as demand falls for electricity in the evening if it is still light.

 

The measure was signed into law two years ago as part of the Energy Policy Act which aims to encourage new energy technologies.

 

Representatives Edward Markey and Fred Upton, who sponsored the amendment to the original bill, said it was expected to save $4.4bn in energy bills by 2020 and avoid the need to build more than three large electric power plants.

 

They said it also would save 279 billion cubic feet of natural gas, and avoid nearly 10.8 million metric tons of carbon emissions.

 

"The change in the beginning of daylight saving time is just one step towards making our country more efficient in its usage of energy and conscious of our environment," Mr Markey said on Wednesday.

 

"Not only will Americans have more daylight at their disposal for four additional weeks in the year, but we will also see wide energy saving, less crime, fewer traffic fatalities, more recreation time and increased economic activity.

 

"Ultimately, daylight saving just brings a smile to everybody's faces."

 

Critics of the measure say the early switch may potentially lead to computer failures and cause minor headaches such as electronic calendars being out of synch, leading to missed appointments.

 

Canada also advances its clocks this weekend, with all provinces moving forward an hour, except Saskatchewan which does not observe Daylight Saving Time.

That's cool. I resent it a little less knowing it's going to do some good. Thanks for posting, Jenjie!:)

 

Now if we could just get Sir Sanford Flemming to explain what he was thinking when he came up with time zones, we'd be ok,lol.:lol:

I hate daylight savings. An hour less for me to do homework. >.<

Time changes are so annoying, especially if you do it the wrong way round and are late for work etc etc...... :\

 

off topic...haha Dave, your avatar reminds me of 2 weeks ago when my cat brought a tenner into the house in her mouth...a cool present lol.

 

ps. that article above made me feel sick....."Ultimately, daylight saving just brings a smile to everybody's faces" how cheesy!!!!

i dont mind

I love you.

 

The end.

 

 

yeah, time and numbers is just a thing Lera...to let you know that if it has been twenty-four hours...you needs to take a showers :P

 

If we didn't have a system (regardless of how complicated and nonsensical it ultimately is in you mind, and in reality) we really would be fucked. Try to imaging how useful it is. I mean, don't you just LOVE it when the clocks strike six am ...and you have to like...wake-up from a delicious slumber ...just so you could go to school and learn about more numbers!?

 

I mean, isn't that just THE moment you live for?!*&%^&^% :wideeyed:

Im too lazy to bother changing it because I'll only have to do it again in another 6 months or whatever.

 

So basically for those 6 months I'm either really early or really late for, well, everything.

yeah, time and numbers is just a thing Lera...to let you know that if it has been twenty-four hours...you needs to take a showers :P

 

Not necessary, I just wait until people start covering their noses in public around me or when dogs follow me thinking I'm one of them.

 

I just read Lerie's post and all I have to say is; yowza.

Yohoo, Crystal. I mean, love you too. Too bad you're engaged. Well, you know.

 

By the way, though I really think all that time-numbers are shit I still love looking at my watch. Sometimes I look at it like, every 15 seconds. Just to check what time is it now. It's hard to explain but that's a kind of a bad habit - checking time every single moment.

Thats a tad perverse Lerie, hope you dont grow up to be one of those cookey old ladies who lives in a house full of clocks and cats. Uhm, twitching.

 

I did used to be of the same mentality though, really perplexed by stuff like that.
