What's screwed up is what we have to do at work tonight. We have to shut down all..... my God... All of one type of equipment we have, before a server update, then power it all back up. The computers anyway, but still, it's the computers that take time to shut down and turn off. This, across a floor space of three football fields... and there are only two of us technicians working tonight.

I fucking hate springing forward, it means I lose an hour of sleep. We should fall back once a week as a little reward to ourselves for working so hard. :)

This shortens my spring break vacation by an hour. Bullshit!

I was wondering why I slept so late today.

I didn't realize it until about midnight last night. I have to be up at 5:30 Sunday mornings for work.

I was pissed.

I like spring forward better, I like waking up when it is darker and having more light throughout the day. But thats just me

I like the later sunset, but I'm not terribly fond of waking up when it's darker. And losing that hour is always evil.

I enjoy having more sun after work to be outside with the fam. But that outdoor fun time will probably turn into yardwork time soon with all this rain.

I am having a hard time adjusting to the change. Last night I was wide awake at 11:30 and then had a hard time getting up this morning, even though I slept the amount of hours I am accustomed to.

They need to just make DST permanent. I don't see why we need to adjust our schedules for farmers anymore. Besides, it's not like the roosters adjust their crowing for DST.

To top off the inability to adjust to the hour change, we had an earthquake of 4.5 at 4:05 PST this morning. I have yet to have a uninterrupted period of sleep since we've sprung forward...

It would be nice to stick to one or the other, but I do prefer the later sunsets.

What a pain. The worst part this year was that I have a friend visiting from Colorado so she sprung forward 2 hours. Talk about a major bummer.

Damn you'll actually have to earn your paycheck instead of watching DVDs.

Meh, these time changes only affect me for the first few minutes after I wake up and realize it's a new time; then everything is business as usual.

Are you using like UNIVAC with punch cards? Because everything in my house attached to any kind of computer (all PCs, phones, cable box) auto updated the time. I'm sure our PCs and servers at work did, too.
