we get spoiled in NJ... I don't think there's anywhere in the state that you can go and not have a 24-hr diner within 5 miles of you (almost all of which have the exact same menu give or take a couple specials, natch... my friend had sweet potato pancakes at a diner last night)

Seriously....why are you guys setting an alarm on Sunday?
Because some of us have to get up at a certain time.

To do what?

Not everyone sits around in their undies eating cheerios on Sunday, dude. Some people have lives.

Everyone who eats cheerios on Sundays does so in their undies while sitting down.

Nope. My alarm clock is from the late '90s, so it doesn't have that feature; manual set only.

Plus, I didn't have my alarm turned on today, since it is a Sunday.

Thats the same with my car. Sometime next month my clock will jump ahead another hour. Its fixable, but I dont want to spend $180 on a new navigation disc which contains the new DST rules.

Where the hell was the DST change announced? Neither my gf nor I had any clue it was happening until our cell phones changed automatically. I follow the news, read the forums, etc. and never once saw it mentioned anywhere. Anyone else have this happen?

I saw it mentioned somewhere on Friday. It would be nice if the change would take effect on Saturday instead to provide a better buffer for the normal Monday workday.

Mine went off ok, but I was retarded tired so I skipped the first church service, then I got a call for help on a 4 picture power point so I showed up for the 2nd service. Was probably going to go anyway. That's the thing with doing late shift, when I do need to get up early it's 10 times harder.

They put me back on normal shift now, will take a while to adjust. Though it will be nice getting out of there at 5 instead of 9.

Mine and the wifes are both set by the atomic airwaves or whatever the hell its called, they set themselves. Hell the only clocks I have to change are the microwave and the truck. Everything else takes care of itself: cell phone, computers, cable box. At any rate I am on the weekend crew this weekend, working third no less. Swing shifts FTL.
