Clocks

[stuey]

Don't you people forget to put them ahead this weekend. I thought that I would bring up a really, really interesting subject as it has been quite quiet on here today:)

[gingejbee]

My clocks (and watches) are radio-controlled...they'll adjust themselves!

[stuey]

In that case, gingejbee, make sure that your wireless is plugged in:)

There was even a notice above the clocking in / out clock at work today reminding everybody to change their clocks this weekend, da management passing on their knowledge to the plebs that may not know ;-)

[Prudie]

LOL Tony I think you and I work in similar places :-)

[tonyav]

It would seem so, Prudie.

[Prudie]

I really really hate this change, takes me at least a week to come to terms with the early dark mornings again.

Spring forward - fall back!

[pixie373]

Because it's the perfect excuse to turn up an hour late ;-). We had that lots of times. They probably won't bother when the clocks go back. Nobody ever turns up an hour early.... :-)

[tonyav]

Knowing our management, pixie I think your right.

[Buenchico]

Would you have the patience, Stuey?

But, Prudie, isn't it nice to see extra daylight in the late afternoon/early evening? We changed our clock three week ago, and it's great to see the "longer" days.

[tonyav]

Don't worry, Prudie. In a few weeks time it will be lighter in the mornings again.

[Prudie]

Yes that's nice but however you tart it up the alarm will be going off at 0630 when my body thinks it's 0530.

[pixie373]

...just say you didn't see the notice, tony ;-)

[stuey]

Thanks for that, Chris...It's a beautiful and amazing piece of art and technology..

[tonyav]

I might do, pixie.

[pixie373]

Sleep well :-). Are you working the weekend?

[Jackdaw33]

The only people really affected are those who work on Sundays and churchgoers. If you get to Monday without realising you are an hour out then you have problems.

[pixie373]

Jackdaw, in our care home, we had people turning up on the Tuesday with that excuse.... Along with one ringing in to say "I'm not coming in. I think I might get a headache".

[tonyav]

No I'm not working this weekend, pixie.
