Daylight Savings time sucks!

[NJmaverick]

Anyone else suffering from this government mandated jet lag?

[petronius]

1. Yep. And I just gave myself a double dose of it when I glanced at a clock

I hadn't reset - flash of happiness at how much time I had left to sleep, followed by crushing disappointment when I realized it was actually time to get up... (

[lizziegrace]

2. Yes!

I lost an hour this week and next week I'm moving from Central time to Eastern time. :-(

[NJmaverick]

5. Ouch, a double whammy

[lizziegrace]

20. Ouch is right

x(

[The2ndWheel]

3. "time sucks!"

Now your thread title makes more sense.

[NJmaverick]

7. Yeah, time does have a tendency to suck

[Shell Beau]

4. I woke up 40 minutes late!! But I do love it still being light when it is later.

[jobycom]

6. CALL CONGRESS RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!1!

[Release The Hounds]

33. SERIOUSLY

[Tuesday Afternoon]

8. Spring Forward does not bother me. I don't even skip a beat. However.

Fall Back Sucks the Big One. Fuck, I hate falling back x(

[NJmaverick]

11. Well you wouldn't have to fall back, if we didn't spring forward

Didn't you mention that you really miss that extra daylight? I'm sort of the opposite, I really don't need daylight and actually enjoy nighttime. I do hate missing the hour and waking up early though. I think my body's natural rythems are EST not EDST

[Tuesday Afternoon]

12. It isn't extra sunlight. It is the same amount of sunlight. They just

call it a different time is all. I just don't need that extra hour they "created". I say we split the difference by a half hour and leave it alone ;)

[NJmaverick]

13. never thought of that, but that sounds like a great idea

split the difference and stop the time changes. Works for me.

[Sequoia]

30. Excactly. You think the farm animals care?

Nope, you still gotta milk the cows at the same time and cut the hay when it's ready. And roosters? Heh, heh...they don't have clocks.

[pokerfan]

34. Local noon should follow solar noon as much as possible

Noon is supposed to be when the sun is the highest in the sky. Obviously, we can't really do away with time zones so there will be +/- a half hour either way depending upon your location but "noon" shouldn't be 1 or 2 in the afternoon.

[azmouse]

9. I am so glad we don't have to change clocks here.

We do just fine without daylight saving.

[Inchworm]

10. I like it - more evening is available now

During regular time I try not to start drinking 'til dark.

Now I get a pass. Woot!

:woohoo:

:hi:

[tigereye]

14. yes it does. It was very hard to get out of bed this am, and since the kid

was sick, I slept in.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

15. I think you mean DST is awesome, right?

I never understand people who grumble about DST.

If it weren't for the extra hour of daylight, I wouldn't hardly ever get to see the sun. It's about the only thing that makes working a 9-6 office job bearable for me.

[charlie and algernon]

16. it's the fall back that I hate

I hate hate hate when it suddenly get's dark at 4:30-5 o'clock. I'd be happy as a clam if it stayed exactly as it is now.

[KamaAina]

17. It does indeed suck great big green rocks. And we don't even have it out here.

In fact, that's the whole problem: our cable channels run on Pacific time, so everything is now an hour earlier. In particular, the previous night's Stewart and Colbert are now at 5 and 5:30, instead of 6 and 6:30. Seeing as how I leave work at 5, I'm screwn. :(

[Bake]

18. I like it.

I have to try to get my house in shape to sell, while looking for another job, and there's not enough daylight. So I kinda like it.

Bake

[NJmaverick]

23. how is the job hunt going?

[Bake]

24. Slowly. Very slowly.

There's nothing here in MS in the legal arena. We want to go back to KY and it looks like we'll have to, one way or the other.

We're hanging in there.

Thanks,

Bake

[NJmaverick]

27. Well good luck, I am sure you will find something

Who knows? It might even be better.

[Bake]

28. Could be!! I'm trying to stay positive.

At least we'll get back home.

Thanks!

Bake

[KitchenWitch]

19. HA - something I can actually agree with you about!

:P

[NJmaverick]

22. lol- Hell just called, something about it's snowing

:hi:

[Jamastiene]

21. I could sleep for a week

and the worst thing about it for me is that I hate daytime with a passion anyhow. So, I get to stay up later, in a way, before the sun comes up, but nighttime comes later too. So, here I am up in the daytime and feeling like shit. I want my nighttime back.

[Jimbo S]

25. I relish the extra hour of light after work.

I didn't it was coming this quick this year. Quite a pleasant surprise.

[sammythecat]

26. Yep. Don't like it. Never did.

[Sequoia]

29. Especially when you get cheated out of a cool birthday....

Why? Because you were born between midnight and 1am. Baby was due July 4 but born 12:58am. If'd been normal time she would've been born 11:58pm...thus...born on the 4th of July. Never mind, we celebrate both days but the birth certificate says the next day. The 4th was her due date.

[sohndrsmith]

31. no. I don't switch my clock in this state. Isn't the whole thing sort of outdated? n/t

[grace0418]

32. I love it! I'll trade the jet lag for an hour more of daylight in the evening.

It's not quite as important as it was when I worked in a cube farm, but it's still nice.
