You know your lady well, Nadette.

See! And people say Nadette possibly doesn't really know anything about Atsali. lol

It looks like Paul's servers didn't set their clocks back yet.

Nerds are often quite predictable (as my wife can attest).

I've never seen this server change the "Daylight Savings Time is in effect in user X's time zone" preference automatically, when DST starts or ends, I always have to do it manually.

I suspect the server may run its own internal clock on UTC.

Yea its extremely possible i have been there and done that. Wife lets me play with the clocks each time and i sometimes forget to set all of them

Hmmmm.
No speed lines.
Or in Atsali's case, wobble lines.

If you're referring to the timestamps here, that's because the phpBB software does not automatically follow DST changes... in fact, I still need to turn the DST flag off on my board.

Check the background.

Well done Nadette. Well done. I'm actually kind of surprised that Kat didn't say something to her kids or change the clocks herself. She's always seemed so very on top of things as a mom.

One must wonder how Atsali got up, rummaged around getting ready and got out of the house thinking she was late without Kath and Pickle knowing. When I'm running late its a constant stream of explatives... I'd think she'd have woken someone up... at least to make sure that pickle wasn't late. Does pickle's school day start later for her grade?

You'll notice- NADETTE is out there an hour early, anticipating Atsali's mishap- so she could get in some extra snogging time, one might assume...

We've seen Atsali react negatively to other people using harsh language. I'd guess that indulging in a "cussing streak" simply isn't her style. We know her middle name isn't "Sydney"!

She may have just looked at the clock, gasped, thrown on clothes, grabbed her books and dashed out of the house towards school without saying anything... maybe even without seeing anyone. She and Pickle may be on different school schedules... not unlikely given their age difference.

Atsali would be expected to be managing her own 'get to school on time' schedule by now, at Castela's age Mom is still involved with Logistics- It could be that Katerine and the Tumbleweed might not even see Atsali on any given weekday morning...

That said, how is it that nobody got the Alice in Wonderland reference. ('Sali might need a big o' Pocket Watch I suppose...)

I'm in favor of just putting everybody on GMT and letting people set their own schedules.
Since they do it anyway, at least the chaos of changing time zones and jerking clocks back and forth twice a year would be eliminated.
It'll never happen though. There are just too many meddlers to contend with.

And a waistcoat. She's not wearing a waistcoat.

Y'know, a mild display of affection, like a hug, takes on a whole new significance when you remember that the hugger is actually butt naked!

She's a teen. Kat probably thought Sali could/would do it herself. She can't do everything for the girl.

Though I imagine this could also be a lesson on paying attention to things.

It's a good thing Atsali has one of those super bras. As I understand it, running like that would hurt like hell otherwise.

I realised I have no critical clocks that require manual intervention, any more. All the important ones update automatically, whether from the 'net or radio time sync signals. The cooker and microwave are entirely offline, but I only look at those for the minutes – over breakfast, going out of the door – not for the hour.

The rituals of making the physical change to all the clocks and watches about the house are gone, all that is left is the inconvenience of time being WRONG for a few days…

Yep, Kat just thought she was 'being early' ...

Even better one I heard, was a whole 'rushing i am late' scenario, getting angry at other for 'being so lazy/ carefree'.... :p

and then shouting at them 'why are you taunting me?'....

and the young one saying 'dont you know?? it Saturday!!!'

"whaaaattt!!! Auuughhhh!!
