I have a wall clock that gains about a minute a week, a clock radio that loses a minute a week, wristwatch that loses about a minute a month, the clock on my HDTV loses OR gains about a minute every two weeks, a clock in my car that gains a minute every week (it did not come with the car, it’s a stick on the dash one). What do they all have in common?…MADE IN CHINA!
Almost all of my clocks at home are the ones that set themselves by radio signal. But the last few time changes several of them didn’t. So I still end up setting them.
I just remembered I didn’t set the clocks at work on Friday like I usually do. I have 28 clocks, and 20 programmable thermostats that I have to change. I’ll have to get them first thing in the morning, the thermostats are going to be the worst part. They’ll becoming on an hour late, so I’ll probably get some “Why is it cold in here?” complaints.

Yeah, right. That trick NEVER works on my clock. It still freaks out for at least a week (even in the fall, when it is supposed to “fall back”)!

Had a clock that would only go one way. “Fall back” meant having to move it ahead 11 hours.

In the fall, just remove the battery, set the timer for an hour, replace the barrery……….

Clocks are so easily traumatized!

There is a bill in the Utah legislature to abolish daylight time. I hope it passes.

I used to own half a dozen digital watches. I could never figure out how to change the time on any of them. They ended up in the dumpster.
