    Working that extra hour must seem like an eternity.

    I'm not sure what would be worse, knowing you have to work that extra hour or having to work the same hour twice lol.

    Thanks for the reminder, strange to think that time is so arbitrary

    this means our little one will get up at around 4:30am and not around 5:30am so much for that extra hour!

    Re: Reminder: Clocks go back tonight

    Thanks very much for that - I hadn't heard anything about it and I've been insanely confused all day trying to figure out what time it is!

    Guess that means I've got an extra hour before going to work tomorrow! Woo!

    Re: Reminder: Clocks go back tonight

    I like that Windows 7 mentions it and tells you too (as well as obviously putting the clock back itself). I was aware of it going back but I still forgot to change the time on my phone until just now.

    Didn't mention it to me. Do you think that might have something to do with me being up at 2/1 am?

    nuhuh, it mentioned it - but not really as a pop up or anything, only when you opened the clock/calender panel.

    and it mentioned it there, after the clocks went back (today).

    Well, I mean if you click on the clock in the corner, the Date/Time popup mentions it (and if you open the main Date/Time bit, it tells you when it goes forward again next now that it has passed).
