Daylight Savings Time (the good one)

I just realized tomorrow is daylight savings time, don't forget to turn your clocks back.

So the burning question on everyone's mind is: What are you going to do with that whole extra 60 minutes?

I haven't brewed in ages, and I've got ingredients for a porter and a saison. I think I'll use it for a 60 minute mash

...or more likely, I'll use it to nurse a hangover.

 

Sleep in. I need that extra hour to catch up on sleep I didn't get this week.

 

It is going to take a week to convince the 1 year old and almost 3 year old that it's not OK to get up at what is now 5:30...

 

Screw all this foolishness! Make one 30 minute adjustment and leave the time alone!

 

Im not looking forward to the next 3mo of it being dark before I get off work.

 

I don't call this one "the good one". I hate that it gets dark so early. It really cuts into my being able to do stuff outside after work. I feel like hibernating way too early in the evening.

I have to find a way to exercise or I'll be an unhealthy slob before long.

 

I wish we stayed on "Daylight Savings Time" year-round. Just permanently move all of the timezones 1 step to the East. Seeing dusk at 4:00 PM is friggin' depressing.

 

Neither one is good, I usually wake up before my alarm which is set for six. This morning I have been awake since four, after going to bed after 11. It's going to be a long day.

 

Changed the clock on my bike. Accidentally changed mph to kph. Man, I was flying on the way home.

 

Either the speed limit didn't matter anyway or you thought all the horns meant they were really happy to see you.

 

There is no good daylight saving time. I can understand the rationale for why it was started initially. With our near 24 hour working economy, it really isnt as energy/cost/stress effective as it used to be. Do away with it I say.

Then again I also strongly feel we need to work out a way to change the calendars to a 8 or 9 day week rather than 7. That way every weekend is a 3 day weekend and we could even have a 6 day work week to compensate. People would be happier. I would be able to get more done, and be better rested. Win win.

 

I was with you on the daylight savings and the 3 day weekends.

Go fvck yerself on the 6 day workweek! Go fvck yerself dry!

 

Hah. But would you accept a 6 day workweek if it meant that you got to always have 3 day weekends? I dont think it is too much to ask.

Alternately maybe you would be up for the workweek to be 4 - 10 hour days

No thanks, I am not aspirational or corrupt enough to want the job. I will stick to being a (usually bad)idea man.

 

No. I don't even want to work the 5 they expect of me now.

But I would be willing to come in earlier, and skip lunch, if it means getting out earlier.

 

That savings time stuff just doesn't make any sense to me. I can never figure out what time it is around the rest of the country. Is the day still 24hrs long?

 

Where i am in northern Canada we don't change time. We also don't get much daylight in the winter anyways. We do get lot's in the summer though.

 

You are incorrect - we went off of DST, not on it. This is how the day should be, and was before DST was invented & implemented.

Seeing as how we are basically a 24-hour-a-day society, and DST wsa to give farmers more "time" in the fields, I don't see why we have kept up with this stupid (IMHO) tradition.

 

Considering if we had never "invented" DST, this is how it always would have been.

*shrug*

 

I agree.
