Don't forget your clocks, you jocks

Spring forward here in the USA,  except Arizona, Hawaii, and a few other states that love darkness.  Just a reminder that you lose an hour of ISM viewing time.  You'll just have to dream about it instead.

We've been running BST for a week now and it's really frustrating to have to wait another hour for the updated folios. Why can we all just stay on the same time, instead of getting out of sync twice a year?

Re: Don't forget your clocks, you jocks

"I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind. I even object to the implication that I am wasting something valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen. As an admirer of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to reduce my time for enjoying it. At the back of the Daylight Saving scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves." (Robertson Davies, The Diary of Samuel Marchbanks, 1947, XIX, Sunday.)

I advocate Weekend Savings. We turn the clock forward by half an hour every monday to thursday night; then turn it back one hour every friday and saturday night, so the weekend is 50 hours long.  I will probably get a knighthood when this catches on. Perhaps even a holiday in my name, since this is great a leap forward as labour day.

I can see myself in permanent jet-lag.  My occupation messes with my sleep cycles bad enough.

I advocate we go on astrological time:  More work in the Winter,  less in the Summer.

Augh! That's today! No wonder I'm all confused. Good, I thought I was losing my tiny little mind.

I'm still losing my mind.  Only half of the clocks in this house have been set properly and I don't know who to trust.  Damn you, William Willett!
