Just got called by a real crew caller, usually now is Robby the Robot.  She informed me I was called like a 01:55 Pacific time but I work under Mountain Time out of LaGrande, Oregon. So that would be 02:55 Mountain Time today.   But because of the time change there is no 02:55 today so am I really called or is this like a bad political joke?  Undoubtedly introduced and passed and signed into law by people who all campaigned for less government in our lives.  Can we just leave the clock on way or the other?  It takes me three days to figure out how to change the time on my digital watch.  The cars and pick-up is another two days each for them..... [waiting]  except for my work car and I never changed the time in it so it well be correct. ;D

Well my rant is over got to get to work if I can figure out what time it really is! 
Proverbs 24:3-5 Through wisdom is an house builded; an by understanding it is established.  4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.  5 A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.

I dunno Rick... you got me confused too.  Maybe go to work an hour early and sit there if it is wrong.... [ouch]

All I know is spring forward night is a the better night to have the mid-watch , rather than the fall back night in  the fall!

I do get a kick out of the people who think or claim they now have a "extra" hour of daylight!   [rofl2]
When in doubt , build it stout with something you know about .

Isn't it really 9Volt battery day, isn't this when you are supposed to change the batteries in smoke and CO2 detectors?
The problem with foolproof devices is that they fail to take into account the ingenuity of fools

You mean I don't really have an extra hour, PEG.... where did it come from then? hmm

I heard somewhere else about the smoke detector thing but ours gets this annoying beep for a few months when it gets low so we know when to change it.... [ouch]

Apparently the new i phones "sprang back" an hour

Often, our ignorance is not as great as our reluctance to act on what we know.

It happened to our old iPhones too, seems to me that would be the fault of the carrier though as I believe most current phones will synch to the network time.
