...Daylight Savings suck.
I totally did not know that today it would be switched (I assumed it was someday in April), and I wanted to go to bed at 2 AM... guess why that didn't happen.
And now I have to switch all clocks again and, of course, somehow adapt to the new time, blegh.
Though, what's awesome is what they're going over in Russia: they're switching to Daylight Savings and keeping it forever from now on. Now, they already did this in Soviet times, and today they did this again and somehow have "double Daylight Savings" now...  Of course, it's gonna be bad in winter for them when it stays dark 'til 11 AM.

I got lost when they switched too. I was lying in bed last night watching Babylon 5, thinking "Ok, it's 12:45. It should be done at about 1:30, then I can sleep."
BAM. It was suddenely 2:10 and I swear I spent a few seconds wondering if my TV and I had travelled through time. Then I remembered that we lose an hour of sleep now D:

Phew. Cause I saw this and was like "X_X I've been dealing with that for a week+!" I almost felt bad that like everyone had been conned at work for me leaving early. XD

I don't really have much of an issue with it at all. I mean I love how it makes the sun rise and set an hour later in the spring.
It means you don't have to wake up so early to see the sunrise and then you can stay out longer before it gets dark.
I kind of love it, actually. ____________________ β Sofi

I'm half-indifferent to Daylight Savings Time. I love the "fall back" part, because I can stay up an hour later without penalty. The only reason I like the "spring forward" part is because it's super easy for me to adjust the clock.
So yeah, definitely about a 60-40 for me.

I'm not too bothered by the time changes, though I prefer the way it's handled in Fall. No issue adjusting, for me.
...Then again, I do have a hatred of warm weather and spring...

What is worse is that it doesn't do anyone any good! It was invented to help farmers, by giving them an extra hour in the morning, but surprise surprise, FARMERS DON'T GO BY TIME, THEY GO BY DAYLIGHT!
All it does is give them less time to get tot he market! |
It makes up for the fact that I miss most of the sunlight in the winter, due to sleeping and classes. Nothing like going into class while it's sunny, and leaving class with it being completely dark outside. 
(Come to think of it, I think this is why winter is always so depressing for me)
