Already and Only.

I've found out the best way to describe Daylight Savings Time, and also how to get my brain in gear to acclimate to the new time schedule, is the use of the words already and only.

Example.

Today ends DST, and we all get an extra hour for whatever we desire to use it for.  So, when I look at the clock right now and see it's 10:11, my brain says, "Wow, it should already be 11, but it's only 10!"  Likewise, come spring when we lose said hour, if I were to see this same time of 10:11, my brain would say, "Man, it should only be 9, but it's already 10!"


Hope everyone remembered to set their clocks back!  Otherwise, it'll make for an otherwise only slightly-awkward start to the workweek.  Yay for more sleep!
