When the clocks go back / forward:

Is that a haiku?

[roastthemonaspit]

No I’m just pleased to see you.

Blates a sympathy vote. Everyone knows Profs is an absolute lord of clocks

Please tell me she just said ‘Chico time’ and hung up

All my clocks update autimatically, which then leads to me waking up and then being unsure if they have changed or not and I spend about an hour trying to work out what the time actually is.

…by which time you’ve wasted the “extra” hour that you had.

The Guardian has excelled itself again

Either that, or I’ve slept through the winter.

I remember booking a taxi to take me to a shift at a different shop when I worked at the bookies and ringing the company to complain that my taxi hadn’t arrived and that I was going to be late.

The taxi woman laughed at me an said, “Yeah, the clocks went back yesterday - the taxi will be with you in about 45minutes.”

Until I’ve figured out this clocks situation, I know I am not a true grown-up.

This year’s confusion; say you work a night shift. Say you finish at 3am. Do you work an hour more or less in autumn? It’s blowing my mind.

Some time ago (four and a half years) I was in New York on my own when they changed their clocks, and had no idea. Could well have missed my flight, but on the Sunday morning as I packed I turned on the telly, and there was a Blackburn game on, and there was a close shot of Steve Kean tapping his watch, and for some reason that made me check the actual time, and i made the flight with room to spare. So if you’re reading, Steve, it wasn’t all for nothing.

Nobody needs to manually adjust clocks any more, everybody just looks at their phone which has automatically updated. I will not accept any arguments to the contrary.

I don’t trust technology, I always have at least one I need to manually update just to make sure. I actually think I have around 4 to manually change now which is a bit of a ballache.

Quite like a clock on the wall, too. Makes a nice feature.

[Atrophie]

Love a good wall clock. Wall stuff are the accessories to make a room feel put together and grown up I think; clocks, lamps, mirrors, prints.

I started at 2, just finished changing them all now. I really need to get rid of a few of them.
