I've just finished recovering from Daylight Savings ... and not 'cause I was tired

Settings all the clocks and electronics is not a big deal, but all the forgotten stuff is something else
Oh look, the house alarm is wrong, oh look, the doser timers are wrong, and the tank controllers, oh, and the night mode for the vortechs, and the timer for the air cleaner

It took me until Tues night to find everything that needed re-setting

You know, its only out of sync for a few months, why not just leave it for summer settings?? I didn't bother changing times on my tanks, just meant lights out an hour earlier. Now, its back to my original settings and I didn't have to do anything!!!!

I love my job, I love my job, I love my job......some of the stupidest remarks, comments, questions and behavior from people is hurting my brain today. Like - Tim Horton's customers are blocking the intersection on the street, what are you going to do about it...um nothing, I don't control the STREET!! Or how about the guy who feels he needs to take a pee beside his truck in the PARKADE daily???? Seriously??? Ya, cuz the washrooms on your floor don't give the same aura, or you like **** all over your tires???? Or you are removing snow from the lot in a no parking zone, hope we aren't paying for that??? Yes, because no one walks there either. Sure you deal with the slip and fall lawsuit.....

And its only 11 am......

Talking about Talking Heads, in their song 'Once In a Lifetime', they say;

'There is water at the bottom of the Ocean' ...
I can't find it in their posted lyrics, but you can hear it in the recording ....

Makes me wonder if David Byrne knows there water in the middle of the Ocean ?

If a person needs to count pennies in this hobby it's time to find a new one.
