Don't forget to spring forward
Once again I am questioning why we use Daylight Savings Time. I don't understand the point of it. Apparently back in the day, some farmers decided that if they change the clocks then they can get in an extra hour of work in the daylight. Well that's all fine and well if you're a farmer, but if you're an average Joe, or Jane as the case may be, then changing the clocks is a real pain in the ass.
What has Daylight Savings done for us lately? Mostly it is sure to throw everybody off, people get one hour less of sleep, they show up late for work, crankiness ensues! Somebody's got to stop this Daylight Savings madness before it's too late! Or too early?
I imagine the poor owner of a watch store. They've got to go around resetting hundreds of display watches so they show the proper time. Schools all have to change their classroom clocks. People are driving around with their car radio on the wrong time because they can't remember how to reset the damn thing. Some will go around 6 months without changing it, just trying to remember it's an hour behind. And then, before you know it, it's time to fall back.
Thanks a lot, Daylight Savings indeed!
