I've worked some jobs that when it gets hot we start at 6 instead of 7.
YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!! You HAVE to change the clocks so you always start work at the same hour! Them's the RULES!
;)

So just WHY can't we leave the clocks alone and change the business hours as each business sees fit?

And where did an hour of my life go?
Mine apparently left between Shelburne and home Sunday afternoon. DW, her sister and I had gone down to the retirement community where their parents and aunt live. Aunt just went to assisted living (she turned 103 last Nov) and we were picking up some bookshelves.

Got home just after 4 and DD2 had arrived from work. She gets off at 4:30 and home about 5. I asked if they'd shut the lifts down for wind. She said no, I asked why she was early
"Dad, did you forget to change your clock?"
BOOM, one hour lost! I had reset my watch, the thermostat and every clock ... except the one in my car.

True... I remember working in South Texas... didn't matter what the clock said... when it got light enough to work... you worked... when you felt your brain about to fry, you stopped to eat lunch and put your feet up for a couple of hours... then you went back out and worked until dark.
Good thing you don't do that in Alaska, you'd be working about 24 hours a day in June!

Morning all and thanks for the coffee. I thought about getting 2 pigs when I got home in Jan. But wasn't sure if I could get them to a butcher before it was past time to get rid of them and my butcher steer/bull is due to butcher 4-2-21.
Funny some of their questions.
Funny how our everyday just bewilders some, not used to it.
