Spring Forward!

I did not realize this was the adjustment weekend! One less hour of sleep before autox sunday morning, great

Our first one of the year. I can't wait, although if it is anything like the last couple years it'll also be my last one of the year. Stupid work that I'm going to be late for.

For me it makes cycling and rowing after work possible, or anything outdoors. And it's a huge boost to morale. I live for it.

Nor does Saskatchewan. I heard an interesting thing on the CBC yesterday -- a scientist who claims that the costs of DST are way too high and she believes it should be scrapped completely. She made a compelling argument.

I hate DST!!

I loathe losing the hour of sleep and I'll never be able to fall asleep on Sunday night, so I'll be a mess on Monday morning.

However, Spring is right around the corner and now a 5PM bike ride is again feasible. I LOVE having the extra daylight back. It's basically rebirth. If the cost of that is an hour of sleep, I'll take it.

So ready for Spring...

See I think that's my problem. I work from before the sun comes up till dark. So all the extra daylight just means I have to work more. And I'm salary so it's not like I even get paid more. Would be nice to have time to do stuff in the evenings though, so I guess color me jelly.

Means that on my 'late' shifts at work, the sun might be rising as I clock in.
And rugby practice has a better chance of being well lit and rainy instead of just rainy.

if you actually work from sun up to sun down ... it won't matter whether it's EST of DST .. it's the same amt. of sun time ...... it's just positioned on the clock diffferently

I know but what I'm missing is the joy of having daylight hours left when the work hours are done. Plus the days are shorter in the winter so less work for the same pay. And I hate the heat, I would rather it be 20 and snowing than anything much over 92. I should move.
