Clocks

[poliphilo]

The clocks went forward last night. Now my clocks think its 2.30 and my body thinks it's 1.30. I'm so mixed up I'm still slouching around in my dressing gown.

Why do they keep doing this to us?

There's a digital clock in the back room with a calendar display. I punched all its buttons in various combinations and managed to get it telling the right time, but nothing would persuade it that the date wasn't Jan 1 2000.

in arizona they do leave the clocks alone! so as a result, in the winter we're on mountain time and in the summer we're on pacific time.

you'd think this would be less confusing, but it puts us out of sync with the rest of the world and thus is confusing as all hell. for example, when i moved here in august, we were on pacific time, so i figured out when to watch my tv shows on pacific time, then we switched over to mountain time and i gave up. now i just don't watch tv.

Yes, that would be confusing.

But here in Britain we're all in the same time zone.
