sucks to put it mildly.
I really have no clue why this particular one hour shift in clock time puts me so out of whack. It isn’t like I haven’t had to deal with a lot of time zone changes in the past; often more than a single hour at a time. But the one hour of “spring forward” drives me almost around the bend and upsets my sleep cycle for days.
So here I am on a Monday what should be morning but is now afternoon based on the wishes of decades ago people who wanted more evening hours in the summer combined with the current crop of fools who think that this is a good idea. In today’s society – it doesn’t make sense. We don’t save power, whether electricity or gas. We don’t decrease accident rates; in fact the converse probably applies. What it comes down to is that certain groups of privileged seem to think that they are entitled to an extra bit of light in the evening regardless of the cost in early morning darkness, agriculture, or upset sleep schedules for about 90% of the rest of us mortals who don’t get a choice.
This one hour, for about 2-3 weeks may help those on the US West Coast who are working remotely for firms located three time zones ahead of time. Starting work at 0700 rather than 0600 if those states haven’t shifted. But actually, most have so the point is moot. It doesn’t help me for those 0500 web meetings that are temporarily shifted to 0600 as most of Europe will shift in the next two week. All it really achieves is making me cranky, which you had probably already guessed.
In more reasonable news – the Swan is finished.
The Hellhound left foot prints in the Supernaturals SAL
and the JackRabbit is up next –
and using the magic of FaceTime – Jill walked me through skinning some cross stitch patterns with PCStitch. Now, if I could just convince that particular laptop that staying connected to the internet was the way to go…
