The year before last I somehow managed to go the entire day without realising that the clocks had gone forward. I was checking my email in the morning when I glanced at the computer's clock that was telling me it was 8:45 and not, as I thought, 7:45. Luckily I only live 10 minutes from work, so wasn't too late. Stupid clock changing rules...
Yes, I knew that the clocks went back, but my alarm didn't. Which all meant I got into the lab at 7:45 this morning instead of 8:45 like normal people. Good freakin' gawd.
