Did you get an extra hour sleep last weekend when the clocks were rolled back an hour?
I didn’t.
I was working in the office on our Week 8 releases when I checked the clock on my computer and it read 3:14. “Okay,” I said out loud, I had plenty of time to finish up my work given with the extra hour it was really just 2:14 in the morning.
An hour later when I finished my update on all the point spreads, weather reports and injury situations, the clock on my computer said 4:25. Turns out, while I thought that meant it was really 3:45 a.m., I noticed the clock on the wall in the office read 5:25. Uh oh, I made a mistake, forgetting that the clock on my computer automatically adjusted off daylight savings at 2:00 a.m.
Okay, no problem, I’ve worked times where I’ve had only an hour after one day ended and the next one began many times on Sunday. Turns out, I lost that hour too. The phone rang at an ungodly hour as if the clock switch didn’t matter at all.
It was Paul, who I had worked with until midnight, and now he was calling hours before the Sunday kickoffs as excited as a kid on Christmas morning.
