Answered Yes, I always remember to set my clock back
I remember to set my clock, but I am always late that first day, no matter what I do. I think the person who invented this back and forth of setting time must have been a masochist. I hate it. I never, ever get used to this spring forward bit. For months I don't sleep well, not until time goes back. -

Answered No, I usually forget and arrive way too early
I was going over to a friend's house and she was really throwing me a surprise party and I showed up an hour early and I walked in while they were setting up. It was hilarious. I left and came back and pretended to be all surprised when me and her really knew that I found out. I told my friends about it and they thought it was a riot. -

I forgot to turn my clock back once and was an hour early for church, I went a fast food place for a quick bite, got into a conversation with someone about God and ended up being 5 minutes late for church. However it was worth it because the person I got into the conversation with, he ended up going to church with me. During our conversation he had told me that it had been about 3 or 4 years since he's been to church and about 9 months after that conversation we had and I took him to church... he ended up joining the church as a member. -

Only because it is all over the news. I do wonder about the people in Indiana though.. half the state changes the clock and the other half doesnt. What if you live on one side and you work on the other...??? -

This sucks as she leaves work at 5pm, drives 30 minutes across the border and arrives home at 6:30, but it also means that she gets to sleep in another hour. She has two clocks beside her bed, one red one with WORK written on it in big fat texta, and another blue one with HOME on it, so that she can keep track of the times.

oh, ok my vote is misleading i suppose I don't have to set my time back, all my clocks in my house do it for me :) and seeing that I use my cell phone as my alarm clock, i don't have to worry about that either... :) Hey i figured seeing that I could never hear my real alarm clock, might as well use the one thing i always seem to hear when I'm asleep :)
