Daylight Savings Time: loudly reviled, cordially loathed – and never, ever changed. I’m sure that there’s some obvious reason why as to the last, but danged if I can figure it out this morning. Clearly I need more coffee…
Open thread, I guess. Not that I really enforce that, anyway.
I… amm… a zombeee right now. Brainsss… brainzzzz…. zzzzzzzzzz……
The bad news: everybody has a screwed-up schedule for the next week or so, or possibly six months (some people just can’t handle the circadian shift). The good news: this makes it easier to sync up lair raids in my MMO (Secret World Legends). The AUS/NZ folks will be ending their DST in April, so starting tomorrow the USA morning players will be interacting with the Aussie and Kiwi nighttime players an hour earlier from the latter’s point of view. It gets more pronounced (and convenient) when the EUR players activate their own DST at the end of the month, allowing for a sweet spot for morning USA / early afternoon EUR / prime time evening AUS/NZ play.

I must note, however: having it makes my commute to and from my RPG sessions much easier. I don’t like driving in the dark. Whether it’s worth messing up a sizable fraction of the planetary population’s circadian rhythms for a week is, of course, another topic for discussion entirely.
Because, sure, why not? Let’s get it all out of the way. Toss in the snowstorm looming for Tuesday and the emerald horror that is St. Patrick’s Day, and we got a heck of a week scheduled…
Normally I don’t mind it, but then: normally…

Sorry. Let me not whine, just this once. Remember to set your clocks forward, folks: Daylight Savings Time starts tomorrow. And, hey: maybe I’ll be able to sleep until 7 AM for a few more weeks now. I’ve noticed that the sun is waking me up earlier, the last few days. So that’s something, at least.
I was wondering why the entire family suddenly ran out of steam. Even I’m getting tired and it’s not yet 11 PM… except that it is, kinda. Ah, the disruption of circadian rhythms…
…hey, my wife had to remind me today. So maybe other people have forgotten, too. Or something like that.
We will now start the traditional expression of hatred towards this practice. Which, to be honest, is why I’m mentioning it. Many of my readers seem to enjoy loathing DST in public…
If the opponents of Daylight Savings Time could somehow manage it so that the vote to repeal it took place on the day that it started, said repeal would pass in a landslide. I have to squint at the screen to see just one of them right now.
Why not say it with flowers?
If you’re wondering why I linked to that, two words: nightmare fuel. Take a look:
That’s NOT the vendor name you’ll find on the actual product page, mind you. Fancy that.
