Welcome to Daylight Savings Time

Welcome to Daylight Savings Time. I hope you like it as much as I do. I know it is fashionable to bust on Daylight Savings Time. Everyone likes to talk about how DST does not save energy and how it is a drag on the economy. They like to complain about how it throws their body out of whack. They like to look at all the negatives.

I want to tell you that I love Daylight Savings Time. I love having more sunlight after work. I would support a double daylight savings time. I know it is not about saving energy. It is about people being able to use that daylight. I know I could get up earlier and go to be earlier, but it is not the same. The mini-golf place is not open at 5 AM. I am all for Daylight savings time.

Time for the clock to kick my ass

I love daylight savings time. I love having that extra hour of daylight in the summer. I would be happy if we had double daylight savings time in the summer. The some daylight I can get the better. I know that I could just wake up earlier, but anyone who knows me knows the chances of that happening. Waking up in the morning is not my best skill.

Even if I love Daylight Savings Time, it does not mean it does not kick my ass.

Driving Home

It is dark when I leave work now. By the time I leave the building it is usually pitch black. I know this is a result of Daylight Savings Time. Last night was the first night this week that I left work at my usual time. It is the first time I noticed how dark it is.

I wonder how this is going to effect my ideas about work. It seems a little silly for me to think about this since we just had a round of layoffs. I guess I have some idea of how the layoffs are going to effect me. I am not sure about the darkness. I wonder if it is going to make me want to leave work early or kill my productivity at the end of the day. I know it is going to change the way I view my day is some way.

In some ways I think it is these little things that have the biggest effect on my life.

Welcome To Daylight Savings Time

I guess it is the little kid in me, but I have always thought Daylight Savings Time was the coolest thing in the world. There was an episode of Pete and Pete where the younger Pete tried to go back in time on the night that the clocks get set back. I have always liked the idea of having an extra hour of sunlight during the summer and turning the clocks back in the fall.

I feel that I have to be ready to use the advantages of Daylight Savings Time. I feel that I should try to get up an hour early everyday. I should do it and take that time to write. Lately I have been getting up very late. I have not been using that time well at all. I know that a lot of writers say the morning is the best time to write. It is the Time when your brain is clearest.

I have not been finding extra time to write lately. I have had to put other things aside to write. I should be looking for chance to squeeze more time between the other things I do. That extra hour in the more would be a really big thing if I could do it. This is just another example of how I do not have any discipline in my life.
