I will bet you did not know there was a question.
There wasn't really. I just got up an hour early, thinking it was 4:30 by the clock.
It WAS 4:30 by the clock. This clock is supposed to reset itself for Daylight Savings Time, but it seems to have done so early. A week early.
My clock said 4:30,apparently, so I got up. I prefer to sleep until 5:00.
Then, about 4:15 in actual time, I discovered the mistake, and went back to bed for a while around 5:00 because everything was done.
Now it is 6:30. I will have a little something more to eat and I will get out the door to my job.
I am glad it was the clock that had the problem, and not my eyes.

Next week, March 14. Problem is it used to be a different weekend, and this clock is "remembering" that. At least I think that is the problem.

Yeah, I remember them changing the daylight savings times a couple years ago. I just wish they'd do away with the whole mess.

I guess it wasn't too smart.

20 year old clock. Government keeps changing the spring forward and fall back days to suit their purposes.

@GardenGerty I check the clock on my Mac to make sure what time and day it is. Right now it says it's Tue Mar 9 8:17 AM

I wish we did not have Daylight Savings Time. Just put the clocks one place and leave them alone. The problem is this clock was made about twenty years ago and at that time they used different dates for DST. It remembers those dates, I guess.

Better than deciding I had a ghost or someone playing a prank on me.

They used to change the clock on a different date, I think. It is an old clock.

We are supposed to change next week. Our government has changed the dates over the last few years and this clock reset according to how it was manufactured.

It was a silly thing, but very typical way to start a work week.
