Time check

If you are in the USA be sure to check you time setting. Day light savings time ends at 2:00 AM (except in AZ/HI).

Us Canadians do that too. Except if you're in one of a few pockets of land that doesn't observe DST (including most of Saskatchewan), in which case disregard.

And for folks in the UK, you're a week late - The clocks went back last weekend

That's funny , so did ours

I found out the following day when my PC Clock was an hour different to my wristwatch

has it ever occured to you that you never knew about the dst change and you were late for something that day?

Would I NOT have arrived an hour early and have waited for the boss to arrive to let me in

All the stuff I use to regulate my day changed automatically.

But the coffee maker, stove and microwave are all wrong!

The only thing I hate about the time-change, is having to adjust my mantel-clock. It's an original early 1930's electric clock, made of Bakelite and still keeps near perfect time (seconds per year). The only thing that's not original is the power-cable.

Sadly, the button on the back to start (press in for a few seconds) and adjust the time (press and turn) is extremely worn and doesn't work, I have to dismantle the clock and use a pair of pliers on it.

Oh, it was also my Mum and Dads wedding present from my Grandparents, so I can't replace the insides with a new quartz unit
