Daylight Saving Time (DST)
« on: November 06, 2010, 06:54:42 am »
Daylight Saving Time (DST)

Daylight Saving Time begins in the spring, when you set your clocks ahead one hour. It ends in the fall, when you set your clocks back to standard time. In the US, you are notified in the news media when these changes occur. There is no federal law that states must abide by these changes, and some locations in the US choose not to. But if a state does choose to follow DST they must follow these guidelines:

In the US (and Canada)
Daylight Saving Time (Starting in 2007) is observed from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November.
In 2010
This means that, on March 14, 2010, at 2:00 a.m. - you had to set the clocks ahead one hour. (Spring forward)

And on Sunday, November 7, 2010, at 2:00 a.m. - you set the clocks back an hour. (Fall back)

 
Daylight Saving Time in Europe
Most countries in Europe, via the EU - European Union - follow a synchronized DST that lasts from the last Sunday of March until the last Sunday of October.

I almost forgot about it until my mom reminded me. I wasn't sure when it was until I looked and saw it was on my calendar. Had an airhead moment  :-

I'm working overnight, so I get stuck working an extra hour.
We do get paid for it though.
It's weird to write 0000-0800=9 hours on the time sheet, though.

I like it when the time goes back one hour, now I don't have to leave to go to work while it is still dark.
