Daylight Stupid Time

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 5 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 (except the creepy Amish ones) 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? I’d like to save the energy I expend changing my damn clocks! I’d like Congress to tell me when I get that back. 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.

  1. I'm enjoying it this year. The kids are still asleep and I get some much needed alone time!

  2. OMG I HATE daylight savings time…Especially when I lose sleep. I couldnt sleep last night until after 3am, and had to get up at 6:30…everythings off. BOOOOO

  3. Amen. Now I got o work in the dark and my kid's sleeping schedule is off. I am totally going to kick a farmer.

  4. berly02- Yeah, it works out fine on Sunday morning, but what about Monday?

    PP- I wasn't up until 3 a.m. and I still hate it. Maybe you need a job that won't make you get up so early.

    Libby- If you find a farmer, please kick him and extra time for me.
