ARRRRGGGHHH DAYLIGHT SAVINGS!!!!

If you suffer at all from seasonal affective disorder today is reason to celebrate.

the internet, 11th march, 2018: where british people read american posts about changing the clocks and american people read british posts about mother's day and everyone thinks "oh shit, was that today? i forgot"

(uk clocks change 25th march and mother's day outside the uk & ireland is the 13th may, relax everyone)

Yeah, this is the three weeks where we wonder if our family in Australia is either 15 or 17 hours apart... or how about 16?

Still dont understand why ppl hate DST. Whats not to love about sunlight til 9pm in summer? Blessed days. I love it.

some goth you are

yeah it's the shit. even losing an hour this weekend, which I usually dread, was welcome since the 24 straight hours I needed to be at the hospital ended up only being 23. sorry haters d:]

just for that i hope you get a 25-hour shift in november

it's too bright

Whats not to love about sunlight til 9pm in summer?

It's the best!!!

DS is due to end here in a couple weeks and I will be sad, for that is the beginning of shitty, dark, shitful winter grim.

Here's what I don't like:

• Switching from one to the other.

• Switching in March while it's still winter.

seriously having to get up while it's still dark is the most depressing thing and totally ruins my mood for the entire day and an extra hour of light in the evening is not nearly enough to compensate for the torture I have to endure each morning trying to wake up early enough to get my kids ready for school/daycare on time.

I mean, it'll be ok in a month or so but still

Yesterday morning I was standing on the platform waiting for my morning train and noticing several unfamiliar faces and thought, these poor bastards forgot to change their clocks. And then I looked at my phone (AKA my alarm clock) which had failed to automatically change the time like it was supposed to have done. Who's the poor bastard now, I was forced to ask myself. Who's the poor bastard now.

I mean, maybe they should move the big change to April? What would that hurt?

it used to be in april (and the same date as in europe) until this

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_Policy_Act_of_2005#Change_to_daylight_saving_time

(I know that.)

this has been the easiest adjustment of my life tbh

(Didn't you read this post of mine that I made 13 years ago?)

That's neither here nor there. I'm just mad that the line in "Celebrated Summer" about how sometime in April they add another hour isn't going to be relevant anymore.

fucking hate this bullshit

motherfuck

What the fuck?

too soon

can we just spring ahead 30 minutes and then end this whole charade

the greatest day of the year, finally some respite from the suffocating darkness of winter

y'all are crazy

real question: do you guys sleep so consistently from nigh to night that a single hour is that big a deal?

I get an hour less sleep on any random weeknight

“I’m mad because there is light now in the evening” whaaaat ppl

Shortest weekend of the year, kill me now

really can't imagine getting worked up over this

i bet you love summer too

hippies

tbh, getting our early-rising pets re-situated is more of a hassle than our own schedules

brad the government is stealing time from me

also now the sun’s gonna be all in my eyes in the morning again

also we have to deal with all the people writing EST when they mean EDT

last i heard california passed a plebiscite to make it always daylight savings time and because oregon has to copy everything from california we're trying to do it too

can we just pass a law to make time irrelevant, because that's what i really want

you all just copying hawaii.

But Hawaii is always standard time, right?

Some legislator tried to abolish DST again here. Keep in mind that we're at least 400 miles away from the nearest time zone boundary.

this basically means having to get up while it's still dark for the next couple of weeks. The worst time the year.

grow up y'all

go to bed early

but it's hard to fall asleep early when it's light later!

chile went permanent with daylight savings for a year or two a couple of years ago, but it caused problems so now they do the time changes again, but they change dates. It's really confusing.

I can barely keep track of when I am two hours ahead of EST (like right now) and then it goes to one hour ahead (tomorrow) and then eventually the same time. I think.

hey i have an idea why don’t all you sunlight loving school marms go on over to the yay march thread and let the vampires commiserate

Yerac, and you don't have to answer, but where are you? Greenland or Brazil?

man we still got like 4 feet of snow on the ground here

Chill out, it’ll be fine, just roll wid it

Chile. It's summer here right now.

May as well be summer here.

The day is going by so fast and everyone is still asleep. Grrrrrr...
