Daylight Savings Gone Wrong

As you know this past weekend was daylight savings. I made sure on Saturday night before I went to bed my phone was set an hour ahead, so proud that I didn't forget about it. I went to bed got up on Sunday, went about my day, went to church and enjoyed the prolonged hours of sunlight. Sunday night I set my alarm for 7:15 am to go to work and went to bed.

7:15, sure enough, my alarm went off. I laid there for a minute, then dragged my self out of bed, to get ready for the day. At about 7:30 I got a text from my friend, Brandi, at work "Are you still sleeping?" My reply, "No....wait what time is it? 7:30 or 8:30" As I texted her it occurred to me that when I went into the kitchen to get my coffee the clock said 7:17 and I didn't remember setting it ahead to the right time. I didn't think too much of it cause after all my phone couldn't be wrong, I definitely set the time on it.

I continued getting ready for work, not too concerned cause I knew I had reset my phone and it said it was 7:30. There's no way it could be wrong...but then she replied. "It's 8:37" My response "Nooooo...my clock says 7:38 and I changed it Saturday night!"

When I got to work, Tim informed me, "This is why you should listen to National Public Radio." Apparently they were talking on NPR about the iPhone daylight savings bug. It causes some iPhones to fall back instead of spring forward or reset the time after it had already been changed. Sure enough, I was struck by the daylight savings time bug.

All that to say, I was an hour late to work this morning. Not because I forgot to change my clock, but because my phone reset itself. Lesson learned: I need to get a real alarm clock.
