Spring Ahead
Hope we got you this reminder before you showed up an hour late for work.:
Daylight saving time begins at 2 a.m. Sunday, so clocks should be set an hour later tonight.
The United States--with a few local exceptions--loses an hour so that there is more daylight in the afternoon and evening.Daylight saving time lasts until Nov. 7 this year.
The move is thought to save energy because it allows for less use of electricity for lighting.

Damn it! I'm late for work.
Oh! Crap! I overslept! Guess I'll have to take tome due then.
Did you tell him I said "Suck it"
What? I'm late for work? Oh well, I guess I'll have to make up for it by leaving an hour early.
I wish i had got this early.. call in, only late by 30 minutes, but i made it
Anyone know how many arrests did they make in 022 today
So if the sun rose before at 6:30, now it rises at 7:30. So I have to use the lights MORE now to see when I'm getting ready for work. True, it's light a little later so it's still light out on my commute home, but then it gets dark out and I have the lights on again, and stay up til the same time at night.
How does this save energy? Even so, if the light schedule is that important, wouldn't it be easier to just mandate employers shift the work day +1 hour ahead? It'd be easier to change schedules than reset millions of time-keeping devices across the country.
I guess I fail to see the logic.
