Did not even notice apparently I was up at 5 am today! Awoke to a broken server, GRRR.
It was not until noon that I realized today it switched.

I like the longer days too, Grimmy. By the time they come around, it's usually welcome news. It's Plymouth-bulidn' time!

No, what sucks is that the Citrix environment at work is outdated enough to not acknowledge the new varying DST... So at 3:07 today (by my computer's clock) I realized it was really 4:07 & I still had over an hour of work to get done before we closed at 4:30. Hyperdrive alert!!! And it'll be like this for a week or two--I'll learn to mentally compensate, and then it'll correct itself and I'll clock out & leave at 2pm instead of 3pm, like I accidentally did twice last spring. D'oh!
Oh, and I got home before the sun set (after an hour detour on the way home), so the timing felt right. Ran to Costco, got home, and it was 9pm!!! GAHHHH!!
It used to mess us up something furious in the days when I still made dinner every night... all of a sudden I'd be cooking dinner at 8pm, because the sun schedule told me to... Now, we all just kind of make our own food when we're hungry, so it's not so bad.
But I'll love the extra hour of daylight as soon as I adapt again.

I hate daylight savings time. They need to just leave it how it is, no fall back. Screw the farmers, they get up with the sun anyways, let them change their hours as the sun changes.

Yesterday that happened to me with the computer in the garage, I was trying to call a company in the east coast and trying to figure out why the closed message kept coming on when it was only "4" eastern.

DST is a pointless and asinine idea these days, and should be stopped.
I'm probably going to put the main clock for me (my hallway Wx station) on Zulu and leave it there - and have an "offset card" on top of it. Turn it back and forth for DST or no (Z+7 or Z+8).
I already think on a 24-hour clock and I'm used to it (I ran around so much before, I just put my watch on Z and got the offset for where I was for a few years...) and it beats Hell out of trying to remember how to reset the clock because the damned politicians think it's a good idea twice a year...

I hate it. I'm still adjusting to it and hoping that I'll be out of it in the next day or two. Its like going on travel and changing sleep habits to fit the time.
