Daylight Savings Time, Sarah Time and Real People Time

I am no longer busy being unemployed! After searching places both near and far, I have accepted a job that is just a short drive away. I am working as a counselor at an inpatient facility and love being back to work. Being a housewife with no children to watch and a very small apartment to keep up was hardly filling my days. I know, I know, I should have enjoyed it. I just felt like I was losing IQ points each day. Case in point below.

A couple of weeks ago, I had one of those moments where I seem to be brain dead and ignore all obvious signs that I am wrong, wrong, wrong! Here's the deal. 2 weeks ago (Oct. 27), right before bed, I go to turn off the computer and realize it is notifying me of Daylight Savings Time. [Let me point out that 2 weeks ago was NOT Daylight Savings Time.]I roll back all the clocks in the house, the computer and my cell phone. In my head, I criticize the AT&T cell phone people for not automatically updating my phone, idiots. Are they trying to make me show up super early to church and look stupid? What about the news channels, no notification? Uh. So, we went to sleep. I happened to wake up sometime around 7:00am (Sarah Time) and realized that my cell phone clock has changed itself during the night and now says 8:00am (Real People Time). Now, I'm really thinking the AT&T people are bad. I try to help them out and my cell phone won't obey me! I start to get a little suspicious and turn on CNN-they're idiots too. Fox News? Yep, all idiots. I turn the computer on, and it says 7:00am (Sarah Time). Finally, confirmation that I am right. Just to be extra sure, I wake my wise husband (an unwise decision) to ask him about Daylight Savings Time. He mumbles something about George Bush and that our computer is 150 years old. Why would I go by what it says? All good questions honey. I have no good answer. I am a bored/unsettled unemployed person posing as a busy housewife with declining brain function. I conclude that I am mistaken [finally] and rejoin CNN, Fox News, AT&T and Professor Matthew in their time reports. Additionally, I promise the Gateway ,circa 1998 with Windows 98 2nd Edition (Uh-huh, that's right), that it's days are numbered. That means it shall die. When I go back to sleep I dream about destroying my computer the way the guys in Office Space destroyed the printer. I thought about putting a youtube remake of that scene on here, however, the music accompaniment (Ghetto Boys) was not suitable for this blog. Just watch the movie. But don't say I didn't warn you.
