I hate daylight savings time

Posted by Chrystalline on March 9th, 2008

Leave the clocks alone!  I could see a potential energy savings if we still worked primarily outdoors during daylight hours, but nowadays, we ignore the sun and schedule our lives around the clock.  Businesses and homes alike use electric lights whether the sun is shining or set.  How does changing the time help anything, except to make people tired while they readjust?

Bah.  I’ve already decided that if I ever have a physical storefront, I’m going to change the hours of operation to negate the stupid clock change, so people don’t have to reset their personal biorhythms just to come to work on time.  If businesses want to change their hours during the summer, that’s their choice (car dealerships do, because that’s their busy season), but the government should get its nose out of our lives.
