If you mean when we change to daylight savings, it's on the 27th like the rest of Europe.

Okay good ... I'm glad Slovenia is not in Utah then

I heard that the old USSR has 12 times zones

Hawaii is the only state in the US that doesn't have to change their clocks ... like never.

March 27th is Easter this year ... did you know that?

I dunno, People complain a lot about DST but I kind of like that extra hour of daylight after work, and changing a few clocks twice a year really isn't that big of a chore to me.

My only complaint is that DST switches always take place on the weekend. How about we "Spring ahead" at 2pm on a Friday afternoon?

Arizona doesn't use daylight savings time either.

I kind of like the extra hour myself.

The summer shift doesn't bother me.
It's the winter one. I start work at 7 am and it's still dark I get off work at 3 pm and at 4pm it's already dark.
By the time I take a shower and have lunch it's already night time

If they just left it at the summer set up I'd had an extra hour of light during winter
I need to wait untill wekend to get some sunshine

I feel your pain Brother. I'm off to work by 6:30am and not home usually until home until 6pm. The only sunlight I see in the winter is through the office windows.

As we used to say in Omaha, "Anyone who sees daylight ain't working hard enough".

At least you got a window, I work in a factory

One day I'll work in a greenhouse though, one can dream

So you have a factory to work in, hey. Back in my day, we had to build the factory first, then work in it with no windows, for 12 hours. Then go back to the shoebox were we live,all us 8. Then dad come in drunk and slap us all for doing a factory to work in!

I prefer the "normal" winter time, but here he have a great light period during the day begging next month, so, the hour change is only noticeable in wining an our during the last weeks of August and September.

You know I find myself more and more yearning for a nice low stress job like that. The job I have now is setting me up for a massive coronary some day. If I suddenly stop posting you'll know what happened!

It is low stress. I'm not sarcastic.
I start at 7am and finish at 3pm. Overtime is rare and welcome. The last project was quite demanding and I was working for 12 straight days, afterward I got 5 days off.

Unfortunately we lost a lot of clients when we bancrupted last year and there's not enough work to fill up my month.
I make only €600 because I never do more than 120 working hours per month

I know how you feel Anze but here in the UK we call that 'retirement'.

STEED · 03-11-16, 10:36 AM

My clocks are all wrong they are one hour ahead but not for long until they go back again.
