Back in the day - when I ran asphalt crews - in the Spring the crew would inevitably have one or two that ‘forgot’ to set their clocks back on Sun AM so were late Mon AM. I used to counter by telling them that I was going to dock them but if they showed up an hour EARLY in the spring, I would pay them double. NEVER had to ‘pay’ more.
I am glad they finally stopped ‘ordering’ us to get up at 2AM to change the clocks.
I would have ‘bought’ that excuse, ‘that one was tired cause he had to get up at 2AM to change the clock etc’.
Like when ‘they’ first thrust this change upon us someone was heard to ask a farmer if he enjoyed the extra hour of sleep and he was heard to remark “Them cows and chickens can’t tell time, they get up when they get up and I have to get up when they get up”.
Just another ‘Government’ program that was supposed to do ‘good’ but turned out to be another pain, however slight....<: <: <:

OOPS... I really meant to say fall.
Lets see now it goes
FALL FORWARD, SPRING BACK doesn't it?
