You've entered a ripple in the space-time continuum.

Yeah it was lunch time before I knew but the remainder of this day is making me comatose. And I even have a pile of work to do, just not interested in it.

I'd kill for work right now. I've wrapped up all my major projects and have to find "busy work" for a few days. I'm used to being busy!

Let's see.... Got a Unigraphics Cad system at work? I need to finish modeling and detailing a floating head for a robotic end effector that I have to get built for welding about 100,000 tubes.

 Well, I have a pile of work to do but half of it can't be done since our system that is run by a 1983 Tandy held together with duct tape hiccuped today and is giving us bogus numbers. Management said we could cut and past our reports we are sending our clients. As in, type the correct numbers, cut that number out with scissors, tape it to the right page, copy it, then add it to our books.  gee, that will look really professional.

well, the good news is that we at least turn the clocks back next weekend at night and not in the middle of the workweek/workday! 
Just here to share the bright side of things. Really.

Only if you help me calculate Teacher Assistant full-time equivalencies and student Average Daily Membership for the purpose of forecasting teacher bonus payment expenditures.

It's actually THIS weekend, but I'm not sure what day we do it. Probably Sunday. We're new to this stuff. Never had to bother with it in Indiana.

Indiana never bothered with it as most of the people there are too busy smuggling cigarettes into Illinois to notice the time.

I don't understand that state and time. Most of it doesn't change but don't some parts change? Like Indianapolis? or New Albany? or something? Where did you live Brie?

Technically, Sunday at 2am (so that it becomes Sunday 1am). Make sure you do it or you'll miss the first hour of the Giants trouncing Minnesota.

Indy. I don't even know the cut-off either. Don't know if it's just a little bit of the state or a lot that doesn't change. We didn't change, and Dad, who lives an hour north of Indy doesn't change either. So maybe it's a big chunk who doesn't deal w/ the springing forward/falling back thing? Dunno.

I'm trying to remember how it worked....when I was in high school I had an audition at Valparaiso University the next day at some time and we stayed at our friends' house in a 'burb of Indy the night before and we got up at the crack of dawn and hustled up there and got ready and we ended up there an hour early. This was spring I think, so I was thinking Indy fell back? but I guess Valpo is on Central time or something.... never mind, I don't what i'm talking about
