    Yeah, I know it's a joke, but I've seen that happen with a few people here over the years, where they report having arrived early for work when daylight savings ends in the Fall.

      Thank god. If having one makes me a whiny biatch that complains about something so trivial as an hour time change.

      I've honestly never seen or heard of a person ever having an issue with a time change of 1 hour while traveling. Never. This is exactly the same. I don't buy it.

        I usually don't have an issue, but this time around seems to be messing with me. Strange...
        I was told there would be no math...

          There are people that get royally screwed up with the littlest time change. NASA did some really cool research after the Astronauts had all sorts of systemic medical issues when they came back from being in orbit. Truly fascinating. Kidneys, fluid balance, cortisol, sugar, digestion, blood pressure, respiratory function (the ones I remember the most, there are others) are all affected. There are certain meds that can be effective or not with even an hour deviation because they work in concert with your body's rhythms. They also do lots of stuff with shift workers who have a nasy habit of having outcomes way worse than day workers.

          You can poo-poo it all you want but there is plenty of medical evidence that makes it very real and for some very disruptive. Other people can fly half way around the world and not notice.

              No, I think it is silly because if it is really that big of a deal, set your alarm clock an hour earlier, and you have no problem whatsoever.

                Utter and complete b.s. Not the study, but that a 1-hour change for one freaking day is that problematic. And if it is that problematic for you plan for it in advance.

                  Well, I am not sure why everyone gets so emotionally freaked out about people not adjusting well. It is a real problem that has evidence based medical research showing it is legit. It is not a matter of choice to have a body like they do. Sort of like blaming someone who is a diabetic for their condition, deciding they aren't really sick and telling the would be fine if they just ate right. No they won't. Telling them they should be or they just need to do X doesn't change things. If it makes you feel better to be mad at them :shrug:

                    Well, yes, but Peanut Butter (why the hell autocorrect capitalizes that is beyond me) sandwiches shouldn't be banned from school because one kid is allergic to them.

                      Depends on the nature of the allergy. Sunflower seeds are banned in my work area because one person is deathly allergic.

                        Walgreens automated prescription refill process. Used to be if I didn't have the number, I would be connected to a live person, tell them what I needed, and it would be ready. Today, I didn't have my prescription number, and was given a runaround by the phone system.

                          Don't get me started on trying to get meds.
                          Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                            Don't get me started on Walgreens as a company. They have become a money hungry company with no value for employees.

                            However, from a pharmacist's point of view this new system is much more friendly. Your phone calls without your prescription number may have been convenient for you but were very inconvenient for the staff at the pharmacy and would then delay those waiting to get their prescriptions at the store. Realize, they're getting dozens of calls a day from people that can't take the time to have their prescription number on hand.

                            Their phone system is horrible so I'm sure it's a cluster but it's a huge relief for those who are actually filling your prescriptions.

                              It may be a relief but not for the provider who then may have to redo a prescription because the person doesn't have the number and calls the office looking for help.

                              I miss the old pharmacies that had real people answering the phones and personal service. When I was first prescribing I could call George down the way if I had a sick patient with 4 kids in tow. I would tell George she was coming and he would have the med ready. Now no one answers, if they do you are on wait forever, get a tech and then they still don't guarantee it. I know it is the way of the world but I can't see it as better.

                                Four months ago I was on a side project for a big one that installed into production. Today I had a couple people from the big project contact me to get miniscule details from that side project and have it recalled in the blink of an eye. Yeah, that's easy to do.
