Daylight Savings Time ends this weekend
 
Hey folks, remember that DST ends at 2am November 2nd (that'd be Sunday), so set your clocks back an hour!

Happy Happy sleep day! The best holiday of the year!

Betty 10-31-2008 09:13 AM

Yay! We gain an extra hour. What will you do with yours?

I'm thinking I'll sleep it away... yawn. I've been up too late nearly every day this week.

While I'm always happy for the Fall change of time, Spring's change reminds me why I think we need to do away with Daylight Saving's Time. Effing. Pointless. I mean, really... we have electricity. Eeeelectricity!

Actually, it was electricity that prompted DST to begin with, and the supposed saving thereof.

If it were up to me, we'd just permanently shift to DST. I much prefer daylight in the evening.

Yeah - but I won't be going to work when it's quite so dark... at least for another month until things catch up and it's dark again.

I hatez that people forget how to drive in the dark.

I prefer DST. But I hate the changing around of times - it always feels a bit arbitrary, and just... annoying.

I have to hear about it and end up talking about it every year, and I still talk about it, despite my annoyance. I smile while everyone cheers in the fall and jeers in the spring, all the while thinking "this is stupid." I'd rather talk about the weather.

So, about this time-change... anyone as pumped as I am? :D
