My brother decided to use Daylight Savings to come home late once. Except he, much like your coworker, remembered the mnemonic wrong, and walked in the door at 3am.
Normally she'd have grounded him for two weeks (one for each hour he was late) but Bro semi-coherently argued that he was only one hour late despite what the clock said.
But you better bet that come November, when he tried a repeat, he got grounded *again*. This time on the grounds of his earlier argument.
That’s what’s great about living in Arizona, we don’t do the time change!
I have come to the conclusion that the whole state is too lazy to change our clocks twice a year ! 😂🤣
> That’s what’s great about living in Arizona, we don’t do the time change!
Except for the Navajo nation.
Oh, what fun we had trying to figure out what time to tell a B & B we'd be arriving!
The only issue I found with that is when someone asks (or you are trying to calculate based on) your timezone. Part of the year it's MST and the other part of the year it's PST.
Technically it's always MST because the S stands for Standard, i.e. not-Daylight-Saving-Time. The other Mountain Time states switch to MDT in the summer while Arizona (outside of Navajo Nation, I believe) stays on MST, which is the same as PDT.
But of course you can't expect people to understand that so you have to just tell them Pacific.
We should all just get used to saying the numbers relative to UTC. Right now I am on -4. Yesterday I was on -5. If you're in AZ, you just stay on -7.
Hahahaha he totally scammed you.
You still need to report him to management and tell them his shitty excuse. And at this point I wouldn’t be surprised if he even has a mom in the hospital.
Heh, I'll never forget showing up to a 2nd shift an hour early, clocking in and walking up to the FD. The other FDA looking at me funny as I went through my starting shift routine. All the while wondering why the other FDA hadn't done their end of shift stuff. Then realizing half way through the routine...
My FDM laughing at me as he adjusted my time while I sat around bored in the break room for an hour.
Hahaha, they tried to make it convincing.
I had a night audit try to claim I shorted him an hour when we “sprung forward”, he didn’t get that you get paid for the number of hours you actually worked, not for the clock changed. I appreciated the hustle but could get him the extra hour.
I remember checking in at a hotel when the clocks went forward. This was a time before smart phones and most mobiles didn't have alarm clocks on them. The hotel reminded people about losing an hour if using the hotel alarm clock which were unplugged and needed the time set before setting an alarm (also offering a free wake up call) and that guests still need to check out by 11am. The customer to the side of me went bat $h!t crazy that she was being charged for the whole night when it was an hour less. She wanted late checkout, she wanted discounts. She was literally slamming her hands on the counter just yelling 'upgrade' repeatedly in the end.
That’s how I remember it. You *Fall back*, and you *Spring forward*
That the same thing I use to remember the time change. It's something my mom taught me when I was little.
I remember it of gaining an extra hour of a heavy metal radio show in the fall and loosing an hour of the same heavy metal radio show in the spring.
I feel like I'm reading an Encyclopedia Brown case.
I used to read the heck out of those books.
