    If we remain on standard time sunrise would be around 4am in June and sunset around 8pm, daylight time means those change to 5am and 9pm.

    I get up with the sun but I'd rather get up at 5am than 4am.

    Are we on standard time now, or savings time?

    I kind like getting a surprise extra hour of sleep.

    I think Dave Ramsey said that it is always savings time. I just hope I have some saved up for the end...I would hate to run out. I heard that it can get mighty dark until you see the light.

    When I used to work permanent mid-night shift, we got an hour off with pay on the jump forward and an hour of OT for the fall back. At least that was what I remember. We midnighters were not the smartest group on the force.

    I am so against the bastard kids. That's why I voted against 68.

    I have a highly tuned internal clock. I wake up just before my alarm goes off. Pick one and stick with it, dammit.

    Stupid time changes have cost the IT industry BILLIONS. We're not using candles for lighting anymore. They're called LEDs.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.
