Spring Forward, Fall Back

We are now officially on Daylight Savings Time. At 2am yesterday morning, some states in Australia, including New South Wales (where we are), Victoria, the Australia Capital Territory (ACT), South Australia and Tasmania adjusted clocks by an hour. (Apparently, Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory do not have daylight saving.)

We have just "lost" one hour and are now three hours ahead of the Philippines.

Perhaps all the talk about DST got to me. I woke up this morning and remembered that I just had a DST nightmare. In my dream, I had been in a place where the clocks had not been adjusted so by the time I realized what time it really was, I was late for work. I dashed out to get to the office. I sent a message to my boss to say that I would be late. I can't remember the details, all I remember is that the bus ride seemed to be taking forever and that I was running late.

I woke up before my alarm went off but since it is Labour Day today, I decided to catch extra z's.

Tomorrow when I report to work, I am 110% certain that the clock at the office will have the right time. It has been one hour ahead since Fall, when DST ended. Finally, it has caught up to real time.
