Life as I Know It; Family; Lifestyle; and Healthy Living!

You know, I'm really sick of this thing!  Firstly, why are we still doing it?  Yea, yea, saving energy, blah, blah...but I'm all for saving energy!   Though I can't stand it when the mornings are so dark for the kids going out to school and having to get your body-clock reset and adjust itself! 

The first Monday at work after a time change is usually one of those days that drags on, or speeds up, depending on how your day is going! 

I do like the fact that the daylight and evening hours are coming in quite naturally now.  The mornings are a lot lighter, and the evenings are becoming lighter much longer now that Spring is around the corner. Can't it be left alone?! 

Yes, it is only one hour, and we usually adjust by the end of the first week....sure!    At any rate, don't forget to turn your clock ahead at 2am.  I usually do it before I go to bed on the Saturday night, if I don't stay up til 2am.

Seriously?! I'm gullible so go easy on the misinformation!

It's true, these clocks are gaining popularity quick. No hassles. My watch is a Casio G-Shock, it checks the atomic clock at 2 and 4 AM everyday, and adjusts accordingly. It's also solar powered w/back up battery. the calender is good until 2099, so unless the band breaks, this is the last I'll need. They make some dressier ones for both men and women too.

Seems you're not the only one

The linked study on this piece is a good reason to stop the idiocy
I own the book referenced.  Brilliant!

Ah come on, its not so bad.  I actually look forward DST because it means I can get home and enjoy my garden more than I can in winter.  Here in Australia, the changeover occurs on a weekend, overnight between Saturday and Sunday.  It is relatively easy and doesn't cause much hassle to anyone.  As to whether it actually aids anyone (shop owners, farmers etc) well I don't know about that.  I'm sure for every 'oh no, this sucks' story there are also plenty of folk who actually don't mind it.
