Time change
How long does it take for you to adapt?
The first week seems to be hard on a lot of people, a lot of dazed people walking around at work. I'll pay closer attention to how I react to it now that I've asked the question....

Daylight savings? No problem at all. It is always a bit strange to see my mom being totally upset about it. And of course, how to explain the kitties?

My mom can't handle 25 or 23 hours in the day. Messes up her whole bio-rhythm. As for the kitties, they have a set feeding time. Adding an hour to that will be quite a difficult task, as they are quite vocal in their demands for food.

So is ours! It's hysterically funny to watch!  My husband and the kitty's relationship make ME feel like the outsider! When we get home from work she greets us at the door. Then when he sits down to relax for a few moments before supper, she goes up to him, gets her tail pulled three times, then she sits beside him and stares at her empty dish until she gets her food! It is SOOOO funny!

It only takes a couple days for me to adapt. I do hate this change however because it is dark when I get up and it is dark when I leave work. I rarely get to see the sun during the week.

I like this one fine because you get an extra hour of sleep in the morning. I only enjoy that the first week, then it feels like the same old thing again. I wish they wouldn't even fool with the time change thing.
I think the UK already had theirs a couple of weeks ago.

Re:
My work schedule is so messed up the time could spring forward or fall back 12 hours and my body wouldn't notice.

Had to adjust the time-zone settings. It is not picking up the change of time. No big deal, just a bit weird.
