I wish they would push the clock so we would get more light in winter at night. I hate it when it's dark at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

What really sucks is that I work 12 hour shifts on weekends, so I get an hour less off this weekend, and the other guy gets to leave an hour early.

The other dude probably posts a thread bitching about it in the fall. :D

Daylight savings time sucks. It needs to be phased out. Badly. It was for farmer harvesting stuff. Wait for October, though.

Um, DST was introduced by Benjamin Franklin as a money saving scheme.

Google "daylight saving" check if you're lucky.

Daylight Saving Time rocks!

since I'm working, I only have a 7-hour shift. like magic, at 1:59:59, it magically became 3 am, leaving me with only 6 more hours to work.

of course, it'll be kinda depressing in the fall when we go back to standard time and I have to work a 9 hour shift.... guess I'll just have to be sure to be sick that night :p

I just got home from the club, and it's almost 6 in the morning.

I'd be happy if it wasn't just time playing tricks on me. :(

No, what will happen is in the fall, the other guy will have quit and I'll have to pull the night shift then too . . .
I know, I'm such an optimist.

hopefully by the time we get to the fall, I'll have enough seniority to get on a different schedule. there's a few people leaving over the summer, and I've been making some noises about wanting their schedules ;)

there are only two of us who work all over-nights, though. the rest of the guys switch schedules depending on the days (except for the department managers, who work 9-7, monday-friday). once the other overnight guys leave, I'll have a pretty good shot at his schedule -- same hours, but he has Friday nights and Saturday nights off :)
