Ok, for everybody in the United States, Canada, Mexico St. Johns, Bahamas, Turks and Caicos who has their internal clocks screwed up, it’s time (sorry for any pun) to sound off… What time do you “think” it is?

I should do too when i can be bothered.  My PC keeps moving the time forward an hour and it's bugging me.

My time sense is about as good as my day/date sense... which is to say, non-existent. So an hour ahead or back is all the same to me, body/mind-wise, since I never really know what time it is anyway.

Oddly my day has gone faster…  I guess it’s an hour earlier (or later…I’m confused) then again well much of that can also be attributed to the fact that my day’s been a breakneck pain in the butt…

I didn't even know until I woke up yesterday and started freaking out because I lost an hour! >:(

Anyway, at least I'm synchronized with Say's timezone again!  XD

We went back a few weeks ago too( about two), along with the rest of the EU.
I've heard DST (in Europe) only saves 0.1 to 0.4 % at best, and that only people in France and Belgium complain to DST, because they live the most to the West of continental Europe. Anyway, since most people don't complain about DST, why not abolish it altogether? The ones who don't complain, won't complain about it being canceled either, and the ones who do complain (like me) won't complain anymore because it has been abolished. See? Everyone happy! ;B

I think folks are finally adjusting in my neck of the woods.  It’s nice because there sunlight for me to play in after work.  Now I can take a walk instead of going to the gym and hit the treadmill.  When it’s said and done I guess I like it, but getting adjusted was a pain!   :-[

I had to adjust my watch manually... but then, the watch cost $2.50 at K-Mart and has lasted for at least 3 years so far, so I ain't complaining. ;)

'Sides, it was about time to get my watch back in sync with my computer (which is in sync with an "official" internet time server) anyway. It drifts a few minutes ahead every couple of months or so.

Peace & Luv, Liz

I've already adjusted :)

I like DST... it means the sun would come up and hour later, so I could stay up till 5am and still go to sleep before sunrise. I don't like going to sleep when there's light outside  :)
It hasn't worked till now though - I kept thinking "I have an extra hour till sunrise! I can stay up longer!" until the sun came up :P

They said on the news that DST is predicted to save about 15 million dollars in my country, and I haven't heard anyone complain about it... so they probably won't be abolishing it, if only to piss off the religious people :-\

My watch is manual.  I didn't buy it though, so I don't care, lol.  I'm surprised that I haven't lost it yet, i've had it for 10 months.
