I'll Say She Is!

Time, time, time, see what's become of me
Spanish inq 1

Okay, time for my semi annual rant about the time change.

Most of you should know by know that I hate it, and truly believe that Congress maintains this archaic clock management system that benefits pre-electricity agrarians so that we are too tired to protest unfair tax codes.

The time change totally snuck up on me this time; I got out of bed Sunday morning thinking that I must have slept pretty late. I was confused as the cable box reflected the "new" time, but Godfrey's backwards clock was set at the "correct" time (another layer of confusion to the mix, that) so my foggy brain took a few hours to realize tha the annual theft of an hour had been perpetrated. My internal clock was off and I had no idea when I should be preparing meals. I tried to stay up late but still couldn't fall asleep - what time was it, midnight, 1, 2 AM? This morning I was convinced that it had to be too early as it was so dark, even though I knew I had corrected my bed side clock to reflect the "new" time. And now, at work, the day is absolutely dragging by. I will surely have no energy to "enjoy" the extra hour of daylight. Frankly I'm not inclined to mow the lawn when I get home from a full day of frustration work.

Bite me, Congress!

I love Daylight Savings Time! But I hate the changeover. I want it to be Daylight Savings all year 'round so I can enjoy more sunshine during the evening hours when I'm actually awake. ;)

I vote we pick a time in between DST and the other time. The changeover between times is too hard on me!
