Ugh. How did it escape my attention until now that this weekend marks the beginning of Daylight Savings Time? I really hate losing that hour in the spring — and I’m not convinced the practice hasn’t outlived whatever usefulness it might have once had.

Not only outlived it’s usefulness, but probably was never that good of an idea anyway.
It’s totally outlived its usefulness, but it probably won’t go away. Someday I mean to get around to reading the book about it…
Very much outlived any usefulness it might once have had, absolutely. As a shift-worker, I find the idea of people who don’t have to re-adjust their circadian rhythms as part of their job artificially imposing it on themselves en masse just bizarre.
That having been said, at least this particular change is likely to work for me in my own sleep-schedule changes rather than against me, the way it usually seems to.
Hmm. Guess that’s what the “DST” I have scrawled on my calendar means. I’ve been wondering about that….
It’s “Daylight Saving Time” not “Daylight Saving(s) Time”
That being said, it’s stupid.
Yeah, I saw that on Ken Jennings’ blog yesterday. It’s apparently a common error…but it could be remedied so easily by doing away with DST altogether.
Honestly, I do like that it’s still light out when I get home from work, but it was moving towards that anyway. Y’know, with the whole Earth’s rotation around the sun thing.
