daylight savings time can fuck off
 
the time change ruins me for about 2 weeks. I realize that it saves oil but considering drowsy drivers are more dangerous than drunk ones, how many barrels of oil is one life worth?

Fuck awf GWB for making it come sooner.

floatingslowly 03.09.2008 12:02 PM

:( sleepinginisgood. I need my beauty rest.

This is where I also admit that I give a fuck about oil. I want my hour back.

samuel 03.09.2008 12:03 PM

daylight savings time has never really affected me
I can make it through any day having either 2 or 12 hours of sleep the night before

as for it coming sooner, aren't they making it smaller and smaller until it just doesn't exist anymore? I hear nonsense a lot though, so I don't know.

hope your next two weeks aren't that bad
stay pwetty

it doesnt even change energy consumption. it's just petarded shit.

i dont give a fuck when the day starts, just keep it in one fucking place.

indiana and arizona do just that.

anyway, im lucky i work at home so i dont have to crash my vehicle on my way to the salt mines, but still, you intend to wake up at a certain hour and it's suddenly later.

i guess i'll be having breakfast at noon for the rest of the season.

There's one way to survive this. Don't overdo for the first coupla days. Sleep in. Take the day(s) off. Lounge. Drink. Lotsa sleep. On third day, rise again from the dead and get back in the game.

According to some news reports, DST actually consumes cost more for the avg energy consumer, not less. I know for me and the missus, it's typically meant we've had to turn on the heat (ahem, get your minds out of etc.) ealier in the morning, and we've had to turn on the a.c. earlier in the summer. So, go figure.

seriously. it's some fucking benjamin franklin bullshit and I want no part in it.

my internal clock will wake me up without an alarm, but when I have to offset it +/-, I'm fucked. I don't have the option of taking off due to jet lag either..

a few years ago, my parents and my brother each lived on opposite sides of Lake Mead, NV/AZ. half the year they shared the same time zone.

I don't care about extra daylight. daylight can fuck off too imo.

Savage Clone 03.09.2008 03:52 PM

Go back to Indiana!

move to arizona man. it's a hick state, but it's probably better than okahoma. :D

and i thought robots could have their clocks easily reset.

anyway, it's all a ploy: http://www.treehugger.com/files/2006...daylight_s.php

ok no more horseshit. i do have the same condition-- i wake up with the sun. these days at 730am. i open my eyes look at the clock its 730. guess it's gonna be 830 now. which pisses me off because it means my workday starts at 10 instead of 9. does it make any difference? maybe.

anyway. pretty useless but-- sign the petition? join the movement? it's a cheesy website but i guess she needs to pay for it with ads

I've never been to Indiana. is it nice? I have a feeling that I'd think that Indiana can fuck off with daylight savings, daylight, benjamin franklin and columbus day.

!@#$%! 03.09.2008 04:00 PM

i think 1/2 of indiana is on dst...

oh wait christ no it's fucked more fucked than ever. see:

gmku 03.09.2008 04:00 PM

Arizona can't be more hick than SC.

I'd really like to see a hick-state ranking sometime! that would be hilarious. I bet SC would be up near the top. Anybody else catch Friday's Dateline sex-with-a-14-year-old-virgin-in-a-bunker-in-the-backyard episode? Lugoff, SC, just 5 miles from my house, people. Yee haw.

Oh my God, give me my old Iowa corn fields and meth labs any day. It's tiime to get the fuck out of this state.

I'd move to Flagstaff in an instant. it's beautiful and I'm pretty sure there would be plenty of hippies to beat down.

I'm not so much a robot as a human cyborg relations device. I've got meat parts (but I'm working on fixing that).

floatingslowly 03.09.2008 04:03 PM

hicks, SC, guys who have sex with 14 year olds, corn fields, meat parts, daylight savings, daylight, benjamin franklin and columbus day can all fuck off.

gmku 03.09.2008 04:03 PM

Exactly. Hippies don't get no love in SC. I can tell you that for a fact, jack.

I'm "edgy" because I wear blue jeans.

flag is alright. a nice downtown, a few microbreweries, a decent diner, lots of indians, hippies, mountain bikers, and other attractions ncluding snow made with sewer water.
