I don’t know if other countries do this, and I know that all of the states in the U.S. don’t abide by it. Daylight Savings time is when we move our clocks forward an hour in the spring and move them back an hour in the fall. I think it was created about 100 years ago to give farmers more daylight in which to do their work in the fields. Call me crazy, but why the hell didn’t someone just suggest that the lazy ass farmers drag themselves out of a bed a little earlier each day? Because those cud chewing, overall wearing, udder jerking lay abouts can’t be bothered to set their alarm clocks we are all stuck changing time. I don’t know if anyone else noticed, but 3 years ago the U.S. Congress, in another colossal waste of their time and our tax dollars, extended daylight savings time by a few weeks on either end. First off, why isn’t it called daylight spending time since we are using more daylight in the summer months? Secondly, at this point the farmers all have electricity and alarm clocks, which may not have been the case 100 years ago. Reportedly the reason Congress is doing this is to save energy. How will changing our clocks twice a year save energy? Don’t we set our thermostats and use heat based on the outdoor temperature, not how light out it is? Congress is again proving to be the biggest collection of morons outside of…well…I guess I can’t think of a bigger collection. Why doesn’t Congress set their alarm clocks an hour earlier so they can get up early and get more of this important work done? I for one am not going to go for this stupid daylight savings time thing anymore. I don’t work at a farm or for Congress, so I told my boss that for 6 months I’ll be to work an hour early or late, however it works out.
When I’m elected President, or Sexiest Man Alive, whichever comes first, this is going to change.
I look forward to the change!
We do it here in the UK too and its a real pain for people with disabilities who cant cope with change!
Can't wait for the policy change.

While working on a document for deployment managers on how to set up Exchange servers, there was a discussion about setting the “fill factor” and you came to mind. So I came looking for you but it looks like you've not written lately 🙂
Hope you're well.

Look at you writing again 🙂 I missed it too, which is why I came back. I started a new blog since I'm married now though. You can now find me at http://www.rookiewifediaries.blogspot.com
there is something Abundantly comforting about the fact that some things remain unchangeable and solid – the turning of the earth, the rise and fall of the tides – and phil's blog posts — 🙂 a year (or more) away and your posts are as funny/snarky/amusing as they always were.
