BAH! I hate it when the clock goes forward 1 hour (I like sunshine, but i'll explain)

Time is an illusion. Ignore the clock change you crazy diamond.

Put your clock back an hour today. Problem solved.

I hate all this clock switching, just leave the damn thing alone all year round!

I get up as late as possible, so I'm all for more daylight in the evenings. Nothing as depressing as leaving work at 5.30 and it's like a sea of endless night outside.

Bring on the clock change, yahoooooooo!

Ooh I'm working night shift that night! They'll make us stay the extra hour though (and we'll get nothing for it). I know it. :mad:

But you will work same number of hours as usuall, right?

Now that I think of it..yes? It's 7pm to 7am so come 12am it'll be 1am, I bet they'll figure out a way of screwing us over though. They're like that.

The US went forward last week, but Europe goes forward next week.

I never knew that until 3 years ago when I was in Chicago and the clocks went forward. Bastards stole an hour off my holiday!:mad:

Surely anyone on nightshift will do their regular 10 or 12 hours or whatever?

i.e. go to work as normal at 8pm or whatever just work 10 actual hours from then on instead of getting off an hour early.

Not if they are on a nightshift that is part of a 24 hour cycle in the company because there would be too many staff on once the next shift arrives. And when the clocks go back there would be an hour of nobody on. In most nightshift scenarios the staff will work an hour less next week, and will work an hour more in October. If they are paid by the hour they will get less pay next week and more in October. If they are paid a set rate they will be paid for an hour they don't work next weekend but will work an hour in October that they don't get paid for.
