I'm an hour off this morning

[41magsnub]

Got up when the alarm went off and did my various business.  I just got to the office and was trying to figure out why nobody else is here.  I just looked at a clock, It's 7AM.  I have no idea what happened...   I guess I'll need to check the time and alarm settings on my clock when I get home tonight.

It's a hell of a lot better to be an hour early than an hour late. I was an hour late on Saturday during one of our major events of the year.

1/2 hour late yesterday. Woke up 5 minutes past time to be at work... I hate that. I set my clock to alarm in the p.m. instead of the a.m. by mistake. Came home to the damned thing going off...

Yesterday was the original start of Daylight Saving time.

My PDA adjusted itself then, too. There's allegedly a fix from Microsoft for their Windows Mobile but it didn't work in '07 or '08 for mine.

Thats it!  Thanks!  Time for a new alarm clock then.

My alarm clock automatically adjusts for Daylight Saving Time.

There's no way of changing its programming, so I have to be very careful twice a year and make sure that I correct it when it attempts to correct itself.

Same here.  Fortuantly I have a number of clocks.

Oh, and I find I have to adjust the sucker 4 times a year - once to put it back on the right time, and once for when DST actually happens.

I'd have preferred if they'd simply gotten rid of it.  Or if I could remember how to tell my clock that I'm in a non-DST area.

I'll bet the makers of those automatically-adjusting clocks never realized Congress would shuffle DST start/end dates around so much.

Huh. My windup Big Ben was right on the money this morning.

I was six hours early today.  I forgot I had an evening shift.

firmware?

firmware?

Mine is like Irwin's.  It is pretty short on serial and usb ports to upload new software with...

My Sharp weather station's the same way.  I think it's wonderful that it tunes in to WWV to synchronize, but as a 2006 model, it's got DST dates all wonky.

I get to work at 7:00, but most of my co-workers get there at 8:00.

This morning one of them came running in at 7:15.  She was all flustered, her makeup not done and her hair somewhat disheveled compared to usual.  She looks around the office, notices that almost no one is there, and then looks at the wall clock.

"It's seven-fifteen?"
