This isn't another PSA announcement, it's more intimate 
Describe just how you "Spring Forward". in detail.
For once......I'll go first 
I usually wait until I'm about ready to go to sleep Saturday night
and change all the manual clocks. I wait until morning to make sure
the microwave etc have been set forward...
Then it gets exciting. I go into work, somewhere in there I have
to set the clock on my Jeep(pretty well have that down). Then comes the two
delivery trucks. A pick-up and a one ton.
Now, if I call a new phone number 3 times in a row(like for the golf tournament) somehow I can remember that number for 10 to 15 years.
But, twice a year, just isn't enough for me to remember how to
re-set the clocks in the trucks....glove compartment....here I come
Now, please don't get me started on re-setting the time clock
(clock in/clock out...yes, we have one)...it's a nightmare 
Besides, I never give it ALL up on the first post. I'm a lady  |

I Have a few manual clocks I have to set and the one on the stove but the rest is pretty all by itself...except for the cell phone!

I may have changed the clocks, but my body slept in this morning. 
I am surprised about some of the cell phones. My little Walmart altell cheapy changes the time automatically.
I did have to change the stove and microwave clocks though. |

My work(changing the clocks) at work is done.
I must say I'm getting better at this. Changed the time clock
in just a few seconds. It was the flashlight

We have atomic clocks and watches....
They are Radio controlled from Fort Collins, Colorado...
...and they set/reset themselves just like my computer!

I was in San Diego when the time change happened. In fact if I would have came to the BBS.. I would have KNOWN about it!
So.. I was completely unprepared.. luckily I woke up in the middle of the night.. and saw that my phone clock was an hour ahead than the hotel's clock radio. I was like WTF?
I turned on my computer to check to see if I was *really* out of it... and it had changed too! LOL... 
I have never struggled with the Spring Forward/Fall Back changes until this year. It is HARD for me to wake up. I used to be a morning person.. HA!

| I tried this Spring forward stuff for a few days now. Decided to change all the clocks to 2 hours back now. |
