omg.... so here i am... at work 1 ****ing hr earlier than what im supposed to be!&!@!@!@@ gah.... stupid mobile phone and lack of clocks in my house. i changed my clock on my phone on sat night so i wouldnt be late for work on sunday. THEN i think my phone has automatically adjusted itself and moved it forward an hr again... after minimal sleep over the weekend, i really could have done with that extra sleep in. i am so unhappy right now lol... im going to get a coffee and maybe a blueberry muffin or flapjack to make me feel better. has anyone else ever been royally screwed over by daylight savings???

yeah I heard how some people's fone's just changed randomly. How could a phone or computer's clock just change a week before it though?

I think the most annoying one that happened to me for daylight savings was about 2 years back when i had to open up my bar at 5:30am for deliveries and stuff. I'm shit at mornings as it is, but i managed to force myself out of bed, when i got there, there are big screens in the complex with the time on, blinking 4:30.
Man, i was pissed.

i assume its a general set date that sometimes changes to suit indivindual states/countries. Queensland doesnt have daghlight savings because they claim the cows can't adjust to it

Japan doesn't save daylight, they seem to like the sun rising at 3:30am for whatever stupid reason.
