I hate it. I hate changing so many clocks, which have too many quirks in how they are set. I hate finding clocks for weeks afterwards that got forgotten. I hate that so many products with microprocessors and displays throw a clock function into the mix, like some kind of free benefit, because now I have a half dozen clocks in the kitchen to remember how to adjust. Most of all I hate all the clocks that automatically adjust for DST, but at the wrong time of year, because not only do we not keep clocks the same, we also don’t keep the rule for making them not the same the same.
I voted ‘all year long’ but I am usually in the minority.
I have very few manually set clocks but I always forget at least one of them.
This year I forgot the coffeemaker clock and had to manually press the ‘Brew’ button.
When I thought about it, I realized that I had also forgotten the thermostat.
When I went to change it, I found that I had forgotten it LAST year, so it was correct.
Heh heh heh.
I’d like for it not to get dark at 4 p.m. in December. Just before Christmas I was working 7:30-5 and only saw the sun on the drive into work and during my two 15 minute breaks - and I do mean that literally, since there are no windows in my area of our building. That ain’t right.
It’s always 5 o’clock- *everywhere, all the time. *
Can I get a ‘hallelujah’?
You prefer Daylight Saving Time.
That’s weird – I would have thought the opposite was true. I.e., if you live way up north, it still gets dark really early in the winter and stays light really late in the summer, DST or no DST.
I like the fall time change. Hate the spring time change.
If we could, like, just “fall back” a couple of times a year, that would be good.
Hey a girl can dream!
I answered, “Yes, but it should start later like it used to.” But there have been two or three different “used to” dates. For decades, DST began the last weekend in April, then it moved to the first weekend of April, which I was all for. Then (I believe) they briefly moved it to the last weekend in March, before moving it to the second weekend in March, where it is now.
The second weekend in March is simply too early. The last weekend in March or first weekend in April would be soon enough.
Other: I think we should use daylight savings time to try and make Winter days seem longer. I think it might help with the rash of Seasonal Affective Disorder I see. Too little sunshine when you’re not stuck on the job and are able to enjoy it.
