Every evening this week has been active and felt like blessings. Like a reprieve.
TBPF, DST coincides with the weather going from 0/teens w/ blistering wind to 40s (57° today!!). Decent weather would make me the early dark feel more benign.
I've been waking up (without an alarm) at 6:30 every day this week instead of 7:30-8. I credit the remission of the long winter depression.

I support DST. I like both changes. Last night I took a long walk home and got pizza, then opened all of the living room windows and listened to music had a couple of beers and watched the block. When we switch back I'll dig that too. Sleeping in and the darkness of approaching winter.

It has rained and rained and rained this week. Haven't seen blue sky since last week. Plus, I was sick.
What I'm saying is, that extra hour of daylight in the evening is going to be like a prison break.

we don't need extra daylight in hawaii, so my tuesday-morning conference call to seattle's moving from 8 AM to 7 AM ugh

It's not for another two weeks in Europe. So that means the deluge of complaints and queries that accompanies LA getting into the office is just going to hit me at 4pm instead of 5pm.

Springbreak is an hour shorter.
It's extra confusing this year because I'm traveling between Austin, Indianapolis, and Chicago. Keeping track of the various time zones is a nightmare.

Who do I talk to about never going back to standard time after the DST change this year?
DST is superior in every way.Standard is dumb and it sucks.

I'll say this: With the way this year has already been going, DST likely won't feel so disruptive this time around.
― pplains, Saturday, 11 March 2017 16:12 (seven years ago) link
the only thing good about DST is that it prevents the sky getting light at 4am in june

If jobs were 7-3 rather than 9-5, would many care for DST?

i can't figure out which one is normal. all i want to do is sleep all the time so i just treat each transition as i am entering a new period of hell.

Standard now somehow exists for less than 50% of the year in most places, so I don't even know what's standard about it anymore.

Time zones approximate 15° orange slices of the globe. Under normal, non-DLS time, if you're at 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60° (etc) longitude, at the center of each abstract time zone, the sun is most directly overhead at local noon.
DLS shifts an hour from morning to the evening, and was lobbied for by ice cream vendors and the like who benefited from more hours of post-labor sunlit leisure.
