Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

Daylight Saving Time proclaimed crappy by all.


I'm sort of--only sort of, not completely--over hating Daylight Saving Time. I still hate it but it's not a true hatred it. It's more like "Oh yeah, I still hate it but who has the energy" kind of hatred which isn't really the same thing. What I do still hate is the argument "We're getting more daylight...a DOY!!!!!!!!" as if we could actually do that somehow.


What Daylight Saving Time actually is is trick people into thinking they are not getting up an hour earlier. That's all it is. Can we please just acknowledge this? Please?


Also, I love that we have decided to move Daylight Saving Time to after Halloween. The idea that we are kowtowing to candy companies in our legislation makes me extremely happy. We're only on Daylight Saving Time more than we're on standard time now. So, what's the big deal?
