Daylight savings reminder

[Fox Mccloud]

Thank you. I don't know what I'd do without this reminder.

Quit trying to fool everyone. It's next week. Not tonight.

I'm tired of all this lying. You don't even know who to trust anymore.

It is indeed today. No April Fools.

Didn't Benjamin Franklin have something to do with DST?

Edit: Guess not...it was a joke. Anyways, Wiki's article on DST.

Bah. DST has severly screwed me over. I usually go out to photograph the sunset from 5:30 to 6:15 PM. Now I have to move it an hour later, and today's session was the far more awkward 6:30 to 7:15 PM slot. I mean, 6:30 is time to eat dinner, not to go outside...

I'm currently protesting daylight savings time by refusing to change any of my clocks. I go to everything an hour earlier than it is "scheduled," (i.e. I went to my "8:30" class at 7:30 so I was still on time), but if anyone asks me the time, I tell them what's on my watch, which is the non-daylight-savings time.

Damn thing, I've got a 30 page assignement due monday morning and that extra hour really would have been handy.

Likewise with my Nanotechnology presentation.

DST is a pain in the a$$.

My computer couldn't even change its time from the nist.gov server because of some RPC error. It did change at some point earlier.

It's an hour people.

Get over it.

Had it in Queensland a Few years back and I found it to be one of the most ludicrous concepts since religion.

Besides, that extra hour of sunlight a day made my curtains fade quicker...

I've really noticed that switch actually, it has been stranging looking out window at 6pm and it still being light! Maybe for some reason this winter has felt extra dark or something

I know, i keep getting really pissed off that i look outside, thinking its about 2 or 3 in the afternoon, to find its actually 6.. i mean WTH! where did the day go? (doesnt help im a lazy slob getting up at 12 most days )

I'm from Indiana, and this was our first year with daylight savings time. I still can't get used to looking out the window at 8 PM and seeing daylight, or 9 and it's still dusk.
