Well, do you?
Do you fucking hate Daylight Savings time, too?

No, I love it. And, after several very thorough studies, it turns out that it saves millions, perhaps hundreds of million dollars, in energy costs to folks in America. Fewer lights on, less heat needed while the sun is still up, fewer accidents on the ride home because it's lighter, and on it goes. There's a huge list of such things, and the numbers, but I'm in a very lazy mood, and google is too much work right now.
Additionally, I'm a very social creature, and I very often have people here for dinner. The living spaces in my house are awesome in afternoon and evening sun, both for entertaining, and for laying in a sunny spot with a book.
Also, just tell me to fuck off. You just get a lot less sunlight than we do. Farting around with when you get to enjoy it will have a larger impact there than here.
Have a drink on me!

They've also proven that the toll it takes on peoples' health is tremendous. The day after DST takes effect, the number of people admitted to hospitals for heart attacks increases dramatically. But we're all fat, lazy bastards here in American anyway.
Fuck off, dirk!
(How was that?)
Oi! Whatever happened to that beer exchange we were gonna do? You never got back to me about it.
Last I heard this is up for debate. Studies I've seen have shown both increases and decreases to energy usage, and generally in very low amounts (like single digits to fractions).
Really though, I don't generally give a shit about DST. I have flexible hours, insomnia, and clocks that adjust themselves so I don't have to worry about it. So fuck it all. :dunno:
That was pretty good, you Canadian twat.
We certainly need to do the beer exchange. Let's figure it out.
Don't hold back. How do you feel about it?
My body's internal clock doesn't naturally reset itself twice a year. Neither should my watch have to.

Back at my old job we got a new boss. The bitch thought she knew everything but didn't know shit and we all knew it. This was an overnight shift and when the time came to set the clocks back she tried to make us stay an extra hour at no extra pay and we would get it back on the next clock change. Never heard of this before and some people had been there for 20 years. We all told her fuck you. We worked our 8 hours and we are going home.
What's the problem with DST? I'd much rather have the sun up when I am awake than when I'm asleep.

That's a first. You usually spew a bunch of bullshit about any and everything, whether we're talking about foreign policy, or four in the hole.
