My DST rant

Daylight savings time bites. I’m not opposed to more daylight, or saving energy, or farmers having more light to work with, or any of those things it’s supposedly for. What I am opposed to is altering my internal clock. Why can’t we keep this time throughout the year if it’s so gosh darn important. I love the fall back part of the whole thing, but I’d gladly forgo it if it didn’t mean having to spend a couple weeks as a zombie a few months later. So enough with this wishy-washy switching back and forth. Congress, pick something and stick with it year round.

  1. I became that guy. I actually missed church because of this. Yes, that’s right. That guy. How embarrassing.

  2. I didn’t miss church because of the switch … I missed church “because” of the switch … i.e., when going to bed at 2 a.m. meant really going to bed at 3 a.m. and getting up at 8 a.m. actually meant getting up at 7 a.m. ….. blah, blah, blah ….

  3. I was waking up every hour or two to check the time so that I didn’t miss church. So I just slept-walked through it. But that gives me the moral superiority to snicker at the people that came in an hour late looking a little bewildered.

  4. You can take that moral superiority and … fall asleep!

  5. i ALMOST chose not to come to church because i, w/o the long story, woke up an hour early (4 reality time) and couldn’t get back to sleep for my last precious hour, all because of changing the clocks.
