Daylight savings time

[xseler]

I guess that those who have a 'regular' job with 'regular' work times would prefer this to continue. However, my line of work has never had 'regular' work times. Some mornings, I arrive at work at 4am and get off mid afternoon. Some days I work 1pm to midnight. These shifts happen within the same week. Tweaking the 'time' does nothing for me. Now if something could be done to shift the time when I'm required to do overnight shifts, that would be nice!!

Wasn't trying to be snarky.....just pointing out the way humans try to trick themselves into believing that the natural flow of the universe can be 'altered' by altering our own construct of time.

Despite the snarky comments, most folks do.

Snarky? Nope not you not never.

Alrighty then. Let me know the next time you think I make a snarky comment.

I think we should just have them 'turn up' the sun. Then, there'd be no need for the blanket.

(I bet I could actually convince some folks this is possible....)

Your a warmer then?

Nah, I'm just a person that could argue either side of that battle...….wouldn't want to, but could.

We have had some classic threads on the warmer thing.
If you have time, do a search. Lots of information that can sway one.

I've seen this analogy used so many times and it is the most ridiculous analogy and highly inaccurate. In all actuality the blanket shrinks. Now since you wear a shirt at night but no pants or socks you move the blanket down to cover your feet. And in my profession I actually like daylight savings time as it means I don't have to go to work in the dark. Yes, by the end of my work day it is either dusk or dark, but would rather it be dark at the end vs in the morning when I have a higher chance of trying to find a pedestal in the dark (and since homeowners try to hide them spotting them in daylight is tricky, trying to do so in darkness is much harder).

Do you work nights?

Arizona doesn't do daylight savings. When I lived there I really didn't notice the difference. ...with the exception of keeping track of the changing time it was back here so I knew when the wife would be home and such.

Google does. Although it's Daylight Saving Time, not "Savings."

It's going to be 108 degrees this week, I would appreciate the sun not coming up at all!

back in February I seen where the house (I think) voted to do away with daylight saving time but haven’t heard anything else has anyone else?

It failed. State Rep. Harold Wright tried to do it.
