Clocks go forward this weekend, at long last.
I hate winter.

I hate winter.[/QUOTE]Clocks went forward from real time to British Silly Time last weekend. Instant jetlag for everyone.

Changing clocks makes no difference to the seasons or the weather. I hate the senseless messing around and greatly prefer noon to happen at, or very near to, 12:00

I was referring to the psychological effect of lighter evenings (Who wants to come home from work in the dark?), daffodils in the garden, birds building nests etc.
Life is wonderful! (So why does my wife call me Eeyore?)

'BST' all year for me.

edit:
One hour difference makes you jetlagged?

Anyway, I work from home most of the time. So there.

I haven't worked away from home since 1993. Carer for my wife and now also a caree. (Is that in the dictionary?)

Independance Day....
 
Today I handed in my letter of Retirement ...:party:

I plan for my last day in the office to be July 4th (hence Indepenance Day).

Then a well earned summer off before I embark on another short career before I retire for good. Nothing officially booked yet but irons in the fire.


P.S. I drafted and printed the letter yesterday on Prime Day 2011-05-23:

When my age and years of service at my company were also both prime numbers ... I figure it had to be Karma...

My son is getting married today.
 
And the other one is getting married 6 weeks from now.

Wow, what a roll, petrw1! Congratulations and best wishes to all 2 (that's prime, too) sons.
