Daylight Saving Time

[nakedfrog]

honestly it's not even that hard to get used to. go to bed 1 hour earlier or 1 hour later, and the next day it's like nothing changed.

Some people appear to have no issues with it. Hurray for you, I guess. It will probably be weeks before I'm adjusted.

Are you sure you're well adjusted in the first place? 😀

 

[nakedfrog]

Well, functioning within normal parameters for myself, at any rate.

I used to like it, but now agree they should stop the quantum shifting of the clocks. Too much trouble. That's my perspective. The best argument I've seen for keeping DST/ST is that people (especially kids) will have to go to work (school) in the morning while it's dark during the shorter daylight months, and that's tough on people for a variety of reasons. We had the ballot measure in CA last election and I read up on it.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Have to go to school/work and come back in the dark no matter what though when it's winter, so never really understood that argument.

Oddly enough now that we moved the clocks it's back to going to work in the dark again. It was JUST starting to be light out in the morning, now have to wait a month or two for it to "catch up".

I figured sooner or later he was bound to do something not obviously outright wrong. This could be it? 😳

I'll wear a MAGA hat daily if he gets rid of dicking with the clocks. I prefer winter time, but DST only is better than changing shit around twice a year.

 

[who?]

Put a sundial out and keep it adjusted so that when the sun is directly overhead it reads 12 noon.

 

[AMD64Blondie]

I also don't care which zone we end up in. Pick a goddamn time and stick with it, stop screwing with my internal clock.

Agreed.

I’ve had a lot of trouble sleeping this week, as usual for these time shifts. I feel like I need to sleep all weekend. #StopTimeShifting
