Turning the clocks back

#1 Post by peacock2121 » Sat Nov 01, 2008 2:08 pm

I am not looking forward to it being dark at 4:30PM.

That is all.

At first I thought you were talking about 4:30 in the morning, then realized you meant at night. It doesn't get dark here at 4:30. Are we that far away? I mean, I realize shadows and all, but...
Well, then

The earliest it ever gets dark here is 5:30. That's not great, but I'm willing to trade it for light by the time I leave for work.

It really does get dark at 4:30PM after we change the clocks.

I hate it.

I get SAD.

I used to get that in Seattle. The gray all of the time.

You need to run down the driveway singing sunny songs at that time of day. And waving sparklers.

That's not a bad idea. I may do that, too.
Well, then

This is the one I like, because I get an extra hour of sleep. I hate the spring one where its cruelly taken away from me. When I worked overnight shifts, it always seemed I was scheduled to work on Daylight Saving Time night for 9 hours, but never on the corresponding Fall Back night, when I would only have to work 7 hours.

I work every Saturday night, so I've worked every time change night for the past 10 years (Except Spring Forward 1999, which fell on the weekend of Easter which, at that time, we got off on that Saturday night). It seems each time we do something different to adjust for the extra or missing hour. I'd imagine tonight, since we are not being allowed overtime in these difficult finacial times, we will be leaving at 6:00 instead of 7:00. I will likely not end up taking advantage of the extra hour of sleep tomorrow.....

It will be nice though to actually drive home in the daylight though come Monday morning.....

It's dark at 4:30PM here as well once the time changes.
I come home and put my pajamas on. I hate the super short days!

"They" say the sun sets at 4:50 tonight. It will get earlier and earlier.

I will venture to not be really SAD until next month.

It doesn't bother me.....

Incessant Christmas music.

Kay's gratuitous attempts to keep up with my post count.

Sprots' total lack of respect for my squirrel.

I can make up a rather large list if I wanted to.... and I haven't even gotten to all of my multitude of pet peeves.....

Rest assured, there are many things that get under my skin. Many of which bother few other people but me.....

Lack of exposure to sunlight just isn't one of them....

As a matter of fact, I'm quite shocked to see how close I am. I thoughtI would be behind by hundreds by now.
