Daylight savings time

[doctorcoug]

What gives? If I write an order at 0159 my next order will be at 0105?

Somehow someway I'm going to get written up by my hospital's documentation nazis.

This is all a joke, cause I'm still on vacation Muwahahahaha.

I hope you spent that unpaid hour surfing the internet. It would be so unjust if your employer didn't pay you for the full, honest 9 hour shift.

You'll ruin the movie if you let all those moths out of the jar eh. How's that project with the mouse in the beer bottle going?

I like the change. I get up at 6 every morning, but would like to sleep in until 7. I leave the clocks unchanged and just change the alarm to 7.

I hate daylight saving time.

With how short of time we are on Standard Time now, we need to simply go to DST year round. It isn't worth changing for just 4 months.

My kids were up very early this morning.

I just wish they would pick one (daylight savings or standard) and quit changing the clocks.

I blew it this morning. I woke up before the alarm went off. It was five to six and so I got up and turned the alarm off.

I showered and got ready for work. As I am driving in I am wondering why the sports shows aren't on. Finally I get in here and no one is here. That happens, but not as long as it seemed no one was showing up.

I think, is this a Holiday. Finally I look at my watch. Damn it. I forgot I was doing the 7 o'clock thing. I got here an hour early. I guess I will change the clock to the right time.

It's messing with my golf game. It's pretty hard to get nine in before it gets dark.

My wife and I have had this discussion. Being a morning person, I hate DST, so I'd prefer just to stay with standard time. However, more than anything, I hate the change.

Here's the problem, as I see it. The current work and school schedule was picked on the basis of standard time (and the light-dark cycles that go with it). There's nothing mandating it, so if we switched permanently to DST, wouldn't companies just slowly shift work hours to later times, anyway? IOW, the workday would just slowly adjust to a later start and then we'd face the same problem of not enough light hours after work? It seems that naturally, people really don't like waking up and driving to work in the dark.

Is that the case?

I don't care about driving to work in the dark.

I actually prefer taking my kids to school in the dark rather than having the sun in my eyes. It seems much safer. Perhaps not for people not driving east, but I'm sure lots do.

Do you think schools would change their bell schedule to be later?

How about everyone else. Does getting up before the sun bother you?

I don't know what people claim, but I'm just pointing out what their actions show. There's no decree from God declaring a 8-5 workday--it's been passed down as the standard based on when people think they should be showing up to work. And when daylight hours are limited (winter), we're on standard time.

It's easy to be for it when you no longer have young kids who can get hit by a car while waiting for the school bus in the morning.
