Working overnight tonight, so an extra hour in bed after I have made myself stay awake most of Saturday will be most appreciated!

(sorry AH2!)

You sure, most places just turn clocks back when you finish the shift, makes everything so much easier.

Not sure what's going to happen. It's a hotel. I usually finish at 7am, but finish 8am on sundays.

I like to order a pizza just as the clocks are going forward, then complain it took them an hour and a half to deliver, and see if they give me a free pizza

I'd imagine that hasn't worked yet.

Much like when my drunken mate some years ago tried to buy in store the Dominos 2 for 1 Tuesday offer, at 1am on a Tuesday morning. They obviously didn't recognise the deal, as it was technically still a Monday shift despite it now being Tuesday. He was arguing for so long that the customer who had been waiting inline behind him turned out to be an offduty Police Officer, who was going to arrest him if he didn't stop protesting!

As long as you get paid for an extra hour then that is fine, if they dont pay you more you can just leav

If only it were that simple. It's hard enough staying awake all night for 8hours let alone 10 (with the extra 1 I have to work anyway).

And if they didn't pay me for the extra hour, I still wouldn't leave. How many jobs do you know where you get paid £7 per hour to watch TV, surf the net, play games and help yourself to free food/drink?
