I was 30 minutes late setting my clocks back... / myLot

...in fact, I had forgotten to do it, and I thought I woke up at 2:30 this morning. Then after I had been online about 30 minutes I saw it was only 2 AM according to my computer, so I wandered through the house setting all the other clocks back an hour. Probably a good thing I never rely on my alarm and don't work on most Sundays. Of course, in the fall, not setting my clocks back means I would be an hour early anywhere I went, which is better than an hour late.

Our state (in Australia) voted against daylight saving. Every time we fly East we have to adjust our clocks but we do that anyway whether there is daylight saving or not.

Smart and still do not know why we do it. Every time some one gives me an answer they are wrong or it is so silly I do not remember.

I think Arizona is the only state here with any sense, they leave the clocks alone

I'm lucky my phone did it for me. Thankfully, I did still remember, but I didn't have to change my phone back or anything.

You really need to teach that meowing alarm clock of yours to sleep in.

My alarm clock is radio controlled, so I have at least one reliable clock inside the house.

I do wish we could stop this changing time nonsense, it messes with my sleep cycle and is entirely annoying

It's a good thing the only time I look at is either on my phone or the computer usually except for my watch which I do need to fix now. Lol

Better an hour early than an hour late, yes. It is a silly idea, fiddling with time... And there is a Leap Second barelling towards us, ETA 11:59:60 Jan 1st, 2017.

My computer and phone do, but they are not 'clocks'

@JolietJake I don't have a alarm clock and I haven't bothered to set the microwave or oven.
