Daylight savings, you did it again!
As some of you might know, daylight savings is the bane of my existence. Daylight savings fucks up my day twice a year.
So on Saturday night I had already started to drift off into slumber land at about 12:00 midnight when i brought myself back to the land of the conscious, remembering that I was supposed to set my clocks back one hour like a good American citizen. Well I decide to set my phone time back one hour to get that extra sleep time and wake up refreshed, ready for work.
I woke up Sunday morning before my alarm went off and found that my phone presented the time as 4:30 am. Of course upon seeing that I went back to sleep because I did not have to be up till 5:30 am. My alarm finally went off and I sluggishly got out of bed and turned the tv on to the Today Show.
While gathering my socks and underpants I noticed that the cable box read 6:40. Also, on the Today Show the local time on the lower left corner told the same story. I grabbed my watch and it showed the little hand on the 4 and the big hand on the 8. With doubt gnawing at my mind I decided to call the hotel. One of my coworkers answered and told me that the time was, in fact, 6:45 am. Yes fifteen minutes before I was supposed to be clocked in and at the concierge desk. Fantastic.
So I was about twenty minutes late for work on a day I was magically given extra time to be there on time.
I suppose what happened is that after I set my clock back one hour it automatically set itself back another hour for this stupid bullshit known as daylight savings. I know... It sounds like an episode of Three's Company where Jack is late for his double date with Larry and the Swedish twins at the Regal Beagle.
