daylight savings time
« on: March 06, 2008, 11:33:06 PM »
     Just thought I would remind everybody.  What with the change and all.  I nearly forgot. ;D 

On a side note, does it really matter how dark it is when I get up for work? ;D

Kill me.  Someone just kill me.

In this day and age there is no reason for Daylight Saving's Time anyway.

Is it this weekend? I thought it was later but maybe we have a different date for the switch over in Euroland.

I'm with Veez, on this one - do away with it, entirely.  While we're at it, get India to choose which time zone they're in - I mean, jeez, who picks to be on the half-hour when the rest of the world's at the hour?

Viva la revolution!   :D

Actually, if you are working during the time it switches, shouldn't you get paid for working the entire shift, when it is in fact only (normal shift in hours)-1 hours long?

Timezones are stupid.  They don't make sense at all... much like my favorite Haiku... *ahem*

Haiku's are easy

Nope. When we "spring" forward I only work for 7 hours, but when we "fall" back I work for 9. I work the graveyard shift so the time change happens while I am working. ;)

All the more reason to do away with the antiquated system.

so something just over 100 years old is "antiquated"??  what, pray tell, do you call castles that are 800 years old? how about a church that is 1700 years old?  ;D

As to Coil and the rest of you europeans, daylight savings for you doesnt start for a few more weeks yet..

You have a different definition?

an·ti·quat·ed    /ˈæntɪˌkweɪtɪd/ [an-ti-kwey-tid]
–adjective
1. continued from, resembling, or adhering to the past; old-fashioned: antiquated attitudes. 
2. no longer used; obsolete or obsolescent: The spinning wheel is an antiquated machine. 
3. aged; old:

I thought something only had to be 50yrs old to be considered antique?  Or does that only cover material things?
