The Governement was in my bedroom.
I know it sounds like I'm likely sporting a hand crafted aluminum foil hat, but I'm not. The aliens have technology that can cut right through Reynolds Wrap. Yes the government came in and fucked with my alarm clock. OK so they do this on Saturday night so we have Sunday to recover. Excuse me? Sunday? I fucking sleep in. OK I don't sleep in like some people do, but I slept in.
This morning? Gotta wake up at 6:00am to make sure the boy gets to his oboe class at the Jr. high. I know you shouldn't do the math, but that was just like waking up at 5 last week. First off if they have to do this why not do it on Friday night? Seriously. That would give me two days of sleeping in to at least get on the whole clock bandwagon.
OK so they did it early this year. I get cranky anyways so I guess I'm cranky earlier and I get it out of the way. I'm cranky now. Can you tell? Seriously what fucking purpose does this serve? "Oh it saves energy," I hear you say. We get up earlier. Bull-fucking-shit! Guess what? It's dark in the god damn morning and I turn on the god damn light. Where is your energy savings now Einstein? Seriously I say no it doesn't. Show me some data here people. I mean do the utilities actually see a drop other than the fact that I turn my heat off? (Do not get my started on my fucking new fancy ass doesn't work thermostat.)
Also we're such sheep we just take it. Where in the constitution does it say oh yeah and the government can tell us how to set our fucking clocks. Seriously is it a crime not to set the clock or would I just look stupid? I am stupid so whothefuckcares I'm an hour late/early depending on how you look at things.
Fact is the days get longer in the summer. Well in this hemisphere. (Chris, you can just think winter when I say summer, k? or do you reverse those too and say it's summer in December? As my only AU reader just leave a comment, k?) Longer days? More sun. The setting of my clock doesn't have dick to do with it. Nada. Nothing. Fuck you.
So why earlier? No idea. Did it really save the country money? Um no. Why because we had to fucking patch every god damn device on the planet because congress got an idea. I hate this shit. Seriously what if we all just didn't do it? What if we all just set our clocks back on Tuesday and dropped the white house a little email saying, "fuck you. we put our clocks right."
It would be a revolution. A revolt against DST. Sounds like alotta work. Luckily it's national nap day. I shit you not. See? I'm too tired for a revolt. Going back to sleep.

Hi Jr, yes we have daylight saving from october until april. Something to do with having extra time with family after work ! All it reallly does is stuff up the kids going to bed and getting the dog up earlier. Chris
PS even microsoft subscribes to it and adjusts the pc time accordingly
