    Its been a running joke with me and my employer for years, I always say on the Friday before springing forward, "I'm going to be late Monday".
    I don't use an alarm clock, wake up naturally and this stupidity F's me up every year.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    :lol::lol:
    I worked with a guy who was constantly coming in 30 or more minutes late.
    I was his boss, and said to him: "I need you to be here before 9am"
    he said, "Thats not convenient for me."

    No excuse, no explanation. If he's just have said he wakes up naturally, I might have thought it over.
    He was fired.

    yay for an extra hour of sleep...
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Fall back is better than spring forward.
    Another habit says it's in love with you
    Another habit says its long overdue
    Another habit like an unwanted friend
    I'm so happy with my righteous self

    this.

    although in reality we're really only getting back the hour we gave up in spring for DST.
    still feels good though.
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    Totally agree. I don't mind this time change, as much. For a few days, it will be light when I get up and go to work! Truly I hate this time of year...from November until Dec 21 when the days are so short it sucks!

    The extra sleep is nice, but it's not worth it being fully dark out when I leave work. :(
