Hey, here’s something I should have asked long ago: people who work third shift on the “spring forward” night… do you get shortchanged an hour’s worth on your paycheck? What happens later in the year when we “fall back?” I’ve never worked third, so I honestly don’t know how that works.

We were paid for 8 hours on the 7 hour night and 9 on the 8 hour night (1 hour overtime). Any dog can be a Guide Dog if you don't care where you're going. NRA ENDOWMENT LIFE MEMBER | |||

I'm always out the hour, but then in fall I get an extra hour. In any case, these fuckers need to knock it off. Just pick a time and stick with it. This back and forth twice a year is retarded and doesn't do anything useful besides fuck people up.

Ho Hum. I’m in the great state of Arizona where we don’t change our clocks twice a year. Although, In the summer, it gets pretty light in the early morning.

This just about covers the span of what I thought the answers would be. Looks to me like airsoft guy gets shorted an hour (and works an hour shorter shift) in the spring, and then works an hour longer shift in the fall for which he gets paid at normal rate. Johnny, however, gets a way better deal, working 7 in the spring and getting paid for 8, then getting an hour's worth of overtime pay in the fall.

| Partial dichotomy |
We worked 12 hour shifts, so we got paid the same, but my watch partner and I would split the hour time-wise. SIGforum: For all your needs! Imagine our influence if every gun owner in America was an NRA member! Click the box>>>  | |||

Well I questioned the first part while driving my son to school in the dark again this morning and he remarked it was the farmers. I asked him what work on the farm changes based on the clock time and he decided nothing on the farm cares about clock time. We didn’t come up with the second part though. I’ll bring that up to him on the drive to school tomorrow. I’ll tell him I saw it on the internet so it must be true. | |||

I’m good with the DST/ST switch. Especially now that my microwave clock is showing the right time. I leave it at a DST setting. There’s about 8 months of that, but only about 4 months of ST. Serious about crackers. | |||

After the first week, I don’t mind it as I prefer the extra daylight after work. __________________________ | |||

When I was working I wanted to stay on DST so I could get at least 9 holes in after work. Now that I'm retired, I don't sleep by a clock. I go to bed shortly after it gets dark and wake up when it gets light. | |||

Easy for you to say that  You don't have kids waking up an hour early now and/or not falling asleep when they should, often awake for hours. It sucks for parents with young kids, it throws them off for a good week or longer, it's almost like a jet lag. | |||

I prefer some daylight when I wake up at 6am. "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

For me it’s no different than staying up late to watch a movie or go out. Same for rising earlier for a more distant work location. It helps usher in Spring to me, grass is greening up. Forsythia blooming, all for changing just an hour. | |||

Depending on the school's schedule, the first month or two of DST may have the kids walking/bicycling to school or waiting for/boarding/exiting school buses in semi-darkness. "The Almighty, He put some livin' things on this earth so a man can eat." - Festus Haggen, Gunsmoke | |||
