GMT -1 Here we go!

I love this time of year when the clocks go back, that extra hour in bed sure makes it worth while!!

i always end up going to bed an hour later so i lose that extra hour in bed lol

Lucky persons, here in India we dont have any such winter time, so, all throught the year, the same time, though the sun rises at six only in the winter and at five in the summer(at my location).

Envying your one hour extra sleep.

Very funny indeed. I'm at work. It's supposed to be 3 am here, but now it's suddenly 2 am here instead. I'll have to work an extra hour tonight. Aaargh.

Oh my you moderate from your work place, doesnt your office have firewalls and monitoring devices installed to prevent unnecessary use of the internet other than that of work purposes.

unless s/he is either IT or, ATS is work haha

I'm allowed to use ATS from my workplace. It doesn't have any negative impact on my work. I could also be reading a book or watch tv if I want to. My boss knows about it.

Do you get paid for that hour that just went back ? i would ask about that, in theory that last hour dont exist no more

Oooh, such a enviable job, yours is, and even your boss knows that you are surfing ats. I thought that these bosses were the persons who would just be waiting to pounce on the workers and yell at the top of their voice.

Perhaps, you are the luckiest person in the world.

Yeah, I'll get paid for the amount of hours that I'm here. I'll be extra tired tomorrow evening, that's all.

Forgot all about this - thanks for the reminder...

Too bad this only happens one time a year...it's not often I get one up on the system.

Winner, so in that case you work up till 2am, then the clocks go back an hour then you work that 1am to 2am again, so you must get paid twice for that hour


Make sure you mention that

No problem, I simply write 12 hours instead of 11

I think, overseas, it happens tonight.

For us in the US, thanks to Congress, we have to wait until next weekend to "fall back".

Wow - I never knew that. Thanks.

I learn something new every day.

Here are the most recent news via Google. Seems like most of Europe changed the clock last night.


daylight savings - Google News

I always miss that switch, waking up an hour to early. My cell phone shows the old time while my PC changes automatically. That's when I realize. Glad to get an hour more dailight.

Here in Australia we change to Summer time, we went forward an hour at the start of the month.

Unsually London is only 9 hours behind me, but we go forward and then go back it's now jumped 11 hours behind me!
