    I was up playing Killzone when the hour changed last week here in the UK, at 2.00 AM. Makes you feel a bit wibbly-wobby-timey-wimey. #weekendnote

    @Ursus-Veritas: I was chatting to someone on Skype via text when my computer auto-adjusted, whereupon Skype decided that the new messages marked as an hour earlier than the last messages must just have been things it missed earlier due to connection problems, and started inserting them an hour previous in the conversation. Now that feels weird. #weekendnote

    Errm... your clocks changed this week too?
    ours changed last week.
    So is that mean that TAY is back to its usual 2:40PM, or even further forward to 12:40PM?

    I HATE when we have to set the clocks another hour ahead though. Fuck that. I'd much rather set it back 1 hour in the fall, and 23 hours in the spring.

    Losing the precious hour of sleep makes me feel off until the following fall. #weekendnote

    @WhiteMage says fix the comments grr: It goes against the expected phrasing, thus creating humour out of the unexpected. A similar example is the classic "chicken joke." Though in this case, as you've noticed, there's no set-up to the punch line, so it's almost the opposite of a Seltzer And Friedberg "joke."

    He said it, so it's like he's making fun of what you think he'll say! But you didn't know he was going to say anything related to it anyway, so it doesn't matter! Wee!

    Yeah, it's not the least bit funny, but it's a joke, if barely. #weekendnote

    @Blore07: If you don't get a joke the first time, then it's usually bad. Jokes are supposed to be gotten in a timely manner.

    Of course, we could all just coincidentally not get a perfectly good joke... #weekendnote

    We Arizonan's don't know such a feeling. For energy saving purposes (air conditioning costs), we decided to skip that extra hour of daylight, and forgo the odd tradition of Daylight Savings.

    Of course, all of our TV programs are moved an hour around, and that's just annoying no matter which switch.

    Is anyone else bothered by the fact that Daylight Savings lasts for 8 months, and "Normal" time lasts for only 4? #weekendnote

    I made the mistake of setting my clock one hour back, not realizing it would do it for me and ended up waking up an hour later than planned. Somehow technology managed to steal an hour I meant to gain.

    I never considered adjusting all of my clocks and watches to be a simple pleasure, but whatever works for you.

    The thing is, I'm inside, away from sunlight 90% of the time so I don't notice the change much anyway. Whenever I'm outside it's typically around noon.

    @Bouchart: Sometimes manually setting your clocks reminds you that the hours are changing. You'll wake up less confused if you're previously aware.

    But...yeah. I'm basically the same as far as never seeing the sunlight anyway. #weekendnote
