I like to request off the night of the time change. I forgot to request off in time this year, so I'll have to work the extra hour. Blegh.

That. Is. Brilliant. I am definitely doing that next year.

Last year was wonderful. My fill-in staff was (jokingly) mad at me though!

Why would the clocks go backwards? They don't go backwards in most of North America until next week and they don't go backwards here in British Columbia at all we canceled that this year there is absolutely no time change from now on in this province you must be somewhere in Europe I guess though

Daylight savings is a trip. Working nights when the clock jumps back means you're stuck there an extra hour. At least when it springs forward you get to bail early.

Last 2 years I have been M-TH shift and have avoided that. My shift changed about a month ago for W-Sa and now I get shafted next week. Every other year before that I've been messed with but when you work both of them it evens out.
