I totally forgot about the time change, but had no problems, only had two appliances in the kitchen to change, and my watch. The computers do it themselves, and so does my alarm clock. YAY!

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was going ok but dating sucks! Then my usual 2.5 hour drive back to my current residence from home turned into over 4 hours because of snow on the ground in Banning and Ontario. I sure hope work goes well this week, the new boss isn't anything to get excited about. At least its only a 4 day week.

Ain't technology a great time saver?

I have that same stupid clock. It's supposed to set itself with a radio signal and does fine if the power is cycled, but DST is a complete fail.

Waaaaay too early in the year for that in either place, but especially Ontario.

This global warming thing is really getting to be a bitch.

Snow? What the heck is that? Oh yeah, that white stuff I see on TV in Christmas shows. Oh, and it covers the mountains around here too I think, or maybe the mountain folk just spray the ground with white paint in the winter to make people think they are having snow.
