If you're complaining about the loss of an hour of sleep, I will sympathize with you there. I too, am hurting.
I like the sun going down at 7pm now though.....I'll catch up on sleep tonight.

All of the polls seem to indicate that we will not be having DST again.
It was voted down years before, but some oxygen-thief politician...but I repeat myself...decided that it would be a good thing. Fucker.
Maintaining the 2 hour time difference with the Eastern States is not sufficient reason to have it, especially when it puts you out of step with your major trade markets in Asia...all of whom are in our timezone, but don't have DST.
Cheers,
Tim

Just out of interest, when does it change back again?

I'm up early regardless, so the alleged "lost hour" doesn't affect me at all.

Rode my scooter to work in the dark this morning, now I have lots of daylight after work to get things done.

"Savings", my ass...we just LOST an hour today. |
Wouldn't be a problem if they didn't fuck it up in the first place sometime last fall (and every fall).

PS - I recall vaguely an experiment in London in 68, NOT going off DST. I took the 207 bus down Uxbridge Road to school in Acton at night. The sun came up sometime after 8. Its a visual impression I'll never forget, walking to the bus in the dark by those incredible amber lights.

I was an hour late for everything yesterday! I did not know it was changing, and didn't even realize i was running late until i sent a text and my iPhone clock was outta sync with my whole world....
Maybe next time the REP forum should announce it a day ahead for those of us who live in caves... yes that's it... it was REP's fault! I feel better knowing that.

Arizona doesn't do daylight savings and I like it. |
We don't do Daylight Saving Time either, and I like it too.
That's right, "Saving" is not plural, in spite of what the announcer on KUAT said.

Same thing happened to me. I was an hour late for work.
You only get that excuse once a year, so why not? hahaha.
Oh, and I still feel "jet lagged". I've been having a really hard time sleeping the last 2 nights. Worse than usual. Anyone else have that problem when DST happens? I feel like it happens to me every year.

Yup. Haven't slept more than an hour or two since Sunday.
For the folks who don't care for it, look on the bright side. It should be a nice little shot in the arm for the economy. More daylight hours, more activity, more retail hours, etc. I know I've been suffering from a bit of cabin fever. Sunlight is an amazing rejuvenator.
