I Am Really Messed Up...

[cr8crshr]

This annual changing of the clocks/time, gets me so outta sink, as I age, that it will take a day or two to get back to normal again. I actually hate having to mess with it every year. Some States now do not recognize it and I wish that that would be the overall consensus and be done with it. What's y'all's take on it and does it get to you in some sort of way like I am experiencing??? cr8crshr/Bill

It doesn’t bother me at all but I wish they would make DST permanent. I hate when it’s dark at 5:00 in the evening.

 

[davek]

I agree stop changing the time. I hate it when its dark at 5pm.

Move it 1/2 hr. and leave it alone.

 

[guy gadbois]

If it was supposed to be 'DST' , God woulda moved Greenwich England 15° east. He didn't, so leave the time where its supposed to be and be done with it.

[and yes OP, it does take a day or two to get back 'in sync'...]

Car#4 nailed it. Daylight saving year-round please.
Here in AZ, we don't change, but my phone is registered to a CA address, so now my phone has the wrong time, the truck is still right, till I go back to California.
Half the time now I don't know wtf time it is!

I have a new pup, Baron he's like 5-1/2 months old now, English Lab yellow/white
he can't tell what time a clock reads, his lil' bladder still says it's the old time
to him it's still an hr later than what the freaken' clock says
(we voted to stay on Daylights saving time a few years back here & it passed, wtf,
we weren't supposed to have to change clocks or sleeping schedules anymore & just like
prop 8 passed, 10 or so years back (not to have gay marriage crap) & it was ignored too)
Now instead of him sleeping in till or getting up at 7:am, he's up at 6:am
I stayed up late last night just so he would sleep in, he didn't, so I didn't
so now I can see coffee at 6:am instead until I can retrain him to sleep later
& go out to pee later...

I'm retired so clocks don't mean much, unless it's some show I may want to watch
or a tee time somewhere

 

[Hey-O]

To be honest, I used to work from sunup, till sundown. It felt like I got a break when it got dark earlier, I quit an hour earlier. Now, who cares........... Just make up your mind!

 

[toolmanmike]

Spring isn't bad. Fall, when we loose an hour, sucks getting used to that.

 

[33 IMP]

TV, hah!. The cable shows the right time for Arizona, but the posted TV schedule is off by an hour.

 

[Moms68]

My dogs are still on their same schedule!! Their lives run on sunrise and sundown.... I prefer having it stay light longer in the afternoon, and can deal with the later sunrise.

It was nice when the pups slept until 7:15 !!

Hey, I’m retired and not on any schedule. When I get sleepy, I go to bed, when I wake up and think about coffee, which was at 5:50 this morning, I get up. I just say, well it’s really 6:50. No big deal.

 

[cr8crshr]

Also in my case, you would think that with all the flying I did worldwide while in the USAF I could adjust to it a lot easier. Nope, not a chance as my circadian rhythm was always out of whack after every mission. It took days to get it back to normal and then BAM!!! Back out to do it all over again!!! After I retired it took a good 6-8 months to get back on track and now with the change either forward/back of an hour each way, I still get FOOKED up for a few days as a result of the change. And at 75 years young, I need all the sound sleep and rest I can get!!! cr8crshr/Bill

Exactly...

 

[DeltaV]

Oh, just go work for a DoD contractor. Buildings with no windows. Go to work when it's dark. Leave work when it's dark.

No thanks

That's what it seems like they want
there's no rhyme or reason for it, no good reasons
(the powers to be, a BS case for younger kids standing in the dark at a buss stop,
was a bad argument, they may have light in the 7:00 - 7:30am,
most younger ones, don't go out till later, but then stand in the dark a 4:30pm,
mid Dec. thru Feb. waiting for the transportation to go home or when outside
while playing a lot more times or coming home from after school activities, it's nighttime )
when 'we have to set the clocks back' to std time....

We're all treated like we're mushrooms, kept in the dark, fed full of bull s--t
from a very young age...

The days are getting shorter.

Yep, that "school kids waiting in the dark in the morning" is a completely BULLSHIT excuse! You don't want the kids waiting for the bus in the dark? MOVE THE F#@KING SCHOOL HOURS BACK AN HOUR!!!
Don't inconvenience the rest of the world for a few schoolbus kids! ( In california , I bet 90% of the kids get driven to school anyway! A friend lives off a street that has four schools on it. Trying to use that street to get anywhere at school opening or closing hours is a nightmare!)
