Daylight savings

oh man, mine still is..i have a very good friend that had retired a few years ago, he said that to this day, his internal clock is still messed up.

something you and I have to look forward to..???

 

Personally I don't have a clock. Sleep by night or day as needed. Crazy. But on the other hand it's pretty nice. I got 6 hours last night more or less and I probably will fill in the other three by afternoon for tonight.

 

Last spring the time change screwed up our elds. . . I wonder if they got it fixed?

 

No.

I can tell you from 20+ years of personal experience in the IT field monitoring mainframe, midrange, and Unix / Windows based processing, time change is a complete cluster twice a year, EVERY year. I worked at a lot of different companies over the last two decades and it never ceased to amaze me how the sysadmins would let this thing sneak up on them every year. I worked nights most of the time so I got to see it first hand and in some places the admins would actually have the operations group reset all of the system clocks and then rearrange the batch schedule b/c they were too lazy or embarrassed to get out of bed and do it themselves. It got so bad I'd often try to schedule off on time change weekends!

 

Catching up on my Smith training this morning. One of the statistics they just threw out is wrecks are up 17% the Monday after daylight saving.

 

Wow regular people getting heart attacks for a simple 1 hour change??? Sheesh us truck driver spring forward and back all the time jumping time zones. 1 hour is not that big of deal. Some people are so dramatic.

 

Drivers have such irregular sleep habits, it shouldn't be that big of a deal for us. At least it's not for me. I usually take 2-3 days at home before the feeling of jet lag passes after a week or two on the road.

 

Same here. Wouldn't know what to do to try to sleep nights again.lol

 

It was dreamed up to help kids waiting for the school buss in am from having to stand in dark?

 

Not with THAT attitude it's not!
