    Default Daylight Saving Time: Are YOU ready?

    Coming this week, we get to lose an hour! So remember to fall back an hour at 1 am... I mean 2 am, this Sunday!

    Now question time, are you ready, or not? Or do you not care about DST?

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Despite the fact that my most hated cartoon character of all time says this... I'm ready!

    Because I'm one hell of a butler.

    Yeah, when you fall back into the "actual" pattern of time and leave DST you gain back the hour you lost when DST begins.

    Of course measuring the passage of time is such an abstract thing that DST is plainly very silly.

    All of my electronics update automatically so I use them to update my watch. I'm good.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    I'm going to spend that extra hour the same way I do every year: sleeping!

    Queensland doesn't have Daylight Savings because we get 20 hours of sunlight anyway.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    DLS is stupid. If people want more sunlight then just wake up earlier
    Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
    Have a nice day!!

    What Shauna said. I know you Americans tend to be a few hours in the past, but a week? Shame.

    Give or take an hour, doesn't make much of a difference to me.

    I am not prepared and haven't had to deal with daylight savings time since 2007. Jeffie and Pike are confusing me. WHICH WAY DO I TURN MY CLOCKS?
