Yes, this weekend is the time change. Set your clock one hour forward. Spring Forward, Fall Back.

The cool part is that I'll be here at work for 7 hours and get paid for 8. Gotta love daylight savings time.

Like Adunham, I live in Arizona. Plays "hell" with trying to remember if your MST contacts are two hours ahead or still one hour ahead of you. Or if California is an hour behind or the same as we are.

Maybe think of it as having 3 birthdays a year.

Your regular day where get a year older plus,2 days were on one you become an hour older & another where you become one hour younger


EDIT:

It appears the FTE computer clock is off kilter.

I just wait until I see the message come up on my computer.

If I'm late anywhere - I follow standard operating procedures:

Blame it on Bill Gates!
