Happy Semi-Annual Time Warp$#@!

[NorthernVike 2,087]

Love it!

[jerryskids 6,836]

So my daughter walks out this morning at 9:15, half asleep. "Dad, what time is it?"

"9:15. Why?"

"Good. I need to be at work at 10, and my clock said 9:15, but my phone said 10:15 and I panicked."

 

As she said "clock" I realized that it was semi-annual Time Warp day, and explained to her that most of the country likes to try to bend the fabric of time and space twice per year.

 

Apparently Verizon thinks many phones here are on Mountain time, which is not quite true -- we are on Arizona time which stays at Mountain Standard Time all year. My S5 got it right, but both my wife's and daughter's S3s got it wrong. Kinda weird actually.

[shotsup 832]

You are the weird one (Arizona not JK)

[Sho Nuff 720]

But all of AZ does that right?

See...parts of Indiana don't and some do. Just remember it being a pain when staying there on time warp weekend. Did that for college trips to French Lick before...bunch of hungover people trying to figure out what time checkout really was.

Technically no, the Navajo nation in the NE part of the state does observe it. But the Hopi nation, which is within Navajo, doesn't.

They must get all kinds of F'd up regarding time up there.

I heard that heart attacks at work the Monday after the spring ahead increase 25 percent

Well two people decided to go into cardiac arrest on my shift today...hmmm.

[Sho Nuff 720]

Or why the Fock they're in French lick..

To get away from a small college town. Hit up a decent golf resort and check out Larry Bird's house.

So you go from small college town to a smaller one?

 

Where I went to school was a tourist town, always a new crop of chicks to hit on.

[Magnificent Bastard 191]

I'm staying home then tomorrow.

 

No one will notice.

[IGotWorms 4,059]

I forget, what is it you do? EMT?

[frank 2,307]

I forget, what is it you do? EMT?

Drive-through.

[shotsup 832]

No one will notice.

Like you have any idea about me.

 

[Magnificent Bastard 191]

Like you have any idea about me.

 

I know you're a Booze hound, which means you're weak, which means you are unsuccessful, which means no one will really notice if you stay home. Unless you're working the register.

[kutulu 1,680]

[ZeroTolerance 584]

Respiratory therapist. It is a pretty busy job in the ER since we happen to be the regional level 1 trauma center/burn center/pediatric ICU/neonatal ICU. That and people like to shoot each other around here.

 

Drive-through.

We get plenty of people who have seen too many drive-thrus.

[MTSkiBum 1,620]

"A ridiculous amount of money for what I do". Hmmmm

[Sho Nuff 720]

This alias has definitely run its course.

[Magnificent Bastard 191]

If so, what happens?

[Vikings4ever 556]

This.

Agreed. Claims to be a Marine. I asked him once if he really was after someone asked if his handle was Marine titled.. He said he once was years ago.

 

Once a Marine, always a Marine, according to my FIL whose a decorated Marine.

 

He's a fraud. Ignore him.

Oh boy, I'm busted. "Once a Marine, always a Marine" is actually the 12th general order. Done in by a effeminate fake lawyer and a couple of booze junkies.

You claim to be an NYPD cop. What's the nickname for the ME in any precinct in NY and why do they get that nickname? How is more important, but I'll give you some rope.

 

During your time there, who was the main ME and what was their name? And who did you sign off on when doing so when handling homicides? And when you did handle a homicide investigation. What was the chain of command? Who was your boss? Who did you answer too?

When you were on scene, who was below you?

 

I'll hang up and listen.

[OldMaid 2,130]

I focking hate DST.

Well, I wasn't a detective, so I didn't handle homicide investigations . And if by ME you mean the medical examiner, well, I couldn't tell you who the "main" one was, because whoever that was didn't respond to some gang banger who got done on a south bronx street. And I'm sure there were a few main ones over my 20 years. The chain of command was police officer, sgt, lt, capt, deputy inspector, inspector, chief. Detectives were in charge at crime scenes. I don't think you have an appreciation for how big NYC is and how many murders there were/are. If you think there is one guy running around like Quincy, that's just funny. I think you know some lingo or read something somewhere and you think you can "get" me. Good luck

Hey MB, please talk about time warps or GTFO of my thread. Thanks$#@!

[BunnysBastatrds 2,457]

Sorry Jerry. My Fawking bad.

 

I hate DST. Takes me a few weeks to get used to it. Within a month, it gets darker an hour and a half at night later. My mind isn't wired that way. Love the extra time for golf but hate the way it transpires. Huge mind fawk that's not in my DNA

[Magnificent Bastard 191]

Back when I was a cop, i always volunteered to work a midnight when the clocks went forward so I could work 7 and get paid for 8. And after a few years I never worked the night the clocks went back, because then it was work 9 get paid for 8.

[shotsup 832]

I focking hate DST.

I know. Makes me drink an hour later everyday. FAWK.

Apparently Verizon thinks many phones here are on Mountain time, which is not quite true -- we are on Arizona time which stays at Mountain Standard Time all year. My S5 got it right, but both my wife's and daughter's S3s got it wrong. Kinda weird actually.

 

No, they selected the wrong time zone. There is an AZ Mountain Time option that must be selected.

[NorthernVike 2,087]

I focking hate STD's.

 

You fock nikki too?

[jerryskids 6,836]

No, they selected the wrong time zone. There is an AZ Mountain Time option that must be selected.

They both said they were on the mode where the network auto sets the time. They are both very tech savvy so it is virtually unpossible that they were both wrong. I confirmed that mine is auto set as well, and it worked.
