F Daylight Savings Time

http://t.qkme.me/3si8cs.jpg

Seriously this is crap. We have to move the clocks back for 8 months and only get it to move forward for 4. Am I the only one that sees a problem with this picture?

Originally we were to suppose to move the clocks back in April but our amazing congress decided to move it up.



1% reduction in energy usage, 3% drop in productivity. hmmmmmmmm. Economic recession or Energy savings?



Here's to you congress.....you f****g A-holes.


Not sure if the 2 offset percent for percent or dollar for dollar. Id be tempted to put money on a 1% decrease in engery is more than half a billion.

The hard months for me are May and June when the sun comes up before 6am. Little kids don't read clocks so when the sun is up is time to get up.

Imagine how horrible it would be if not for DLST. You would be woken up by your little kids a little before 5am. each morning.



Also, something neat i found out last year is that the increaing daylight we experience each year is asymmetrical. I cant remember the exact explaination, but if anyone here gets up early, youll notice the amount of day light increases moreso in the evening then it does in the morning.

I think this is trying to explain it:

Dawn-dusk asymmetry of geosynchronous magnetopause crossings - Dmitriev - 2004 - Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics (1978–2012) - Wiley Online Library (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2003JA010171/abstract)

But i just chalk it up to the fact that Day Man is Fighter of The Night Man.

Exactly

Night Owls vs. Early Birds in the Business World | CAREEREALISM (http://www.careerealism.com/night-owls-early-birds/)

It turns out, not only is this old bromide not accurate, it may be just the opposite. In two recent studies (one of which is abstracted on the net, the other one is not) by the University of Liege and by a Japanese researcher Kanazawa (here is the link to the Liege abstract) night owls are actually better able to handle a day than the “larks,” who are up at the crack of dawn each morning. And according to Kanazawa’s study, they are, generally speaking, people of higher intelligence than the “morning people.” Both studies also showed that night owls tend to get more work done, and resist the pressure to sleep better than the larks.

But the Boomers are retiring. Younger people are going to be filling positions in droves. And they are not as willing as we were to conform their body rhythms to the slavery of “the company.” They’ll simply leave and find other jobs that aren’t requiring them to get up at 0 dark thirty.

The one thing I hate is having to drive to work in the dark again. Just when it started getting light before 7 am and I could enjoy some morning sun it gets taken away.
