What's wrong with that??
I wouldn't mind seeing the sun on the way to work.

It's supposed to save electricity because daylight lasts longer into the evening so household lights are on for 1 hour less per day.

It's not the time change that freaks me out, it will be tonight when it's daylight longer. The first few days take getting use to until my body realizes that it's daylight at 9pm, still.

I dunno with computers and all the other power sucking appliances we have, how much can leaving the lights off really do....

I never bother switching anymore. I'm too lazy. I am at peace with the fact that my clocks are only right for half of the year.

Wow! And I thought I was lazy!

The longer days don't bother me. I work in a windowless room so when I come out after work it's dark, except during daylight savings time, then it's daylight when I'm done working. It's a LOT less depressing.

The summer time is the way it SHOULD be all the time. The winter crap where it gets dark at 4pm is simply ridiclulous. It was a war measures act I believe, so that we'd get more light in the am. Though really, who cares what the actual clock says ... when I stop working for "the Man" I'll just get up when I feel like it anyway ;)
