Spring Forward

Don't wake me up, I'll be grumpy Daylight Saving(no S!) Time On Sunday it will be time to “spring forward.” If I had an image of a sarcastic smiley face I would print it here. I hesitate to use the word HATE since it is such a strong word so I will use “strongly dislike.” I strongly dislike daylight saving – no s – time. Naw, too wimpish. I DETEST daylight saving time. Spring forward, fall back, yuccccccccccck! So I lose an hour of sleep this Sunday. There will be only 23 hours in this day. It will be a fun time in my household. Now I’ll really be crabby because my sleep patterns are nasty to start with. It will take me WEEKS to acclimate. I hope you’re feeling sorry for me by now. I know I am. Wikipedia has some fascinating facts about energy use, economic effects, public safety, health, politics and more. Blah, blah, blah. I don’t really care about any of the above. Just leave it alone. All of the time and energy that is used setting clocks forward, fixing electronics, etc. etc. could surely be used for something more productive – like, hmmm – sleeping, eating, sleeping, reading, sleeping. You get the idea. I don’t know how long it takes in your household – say 15 minutes. That 15 minutes times a gazillion. That’s a lot of time. Just think what it must do to the airline schedule and school kids and all those babies that don’t know they’re supposed to wake up at a different time. Major chaos is what I think, If you are born or die exactly at 2:00. a.m. will your birth/death certificate say 3:00 a.m? Just wondering. I expect that all you sports junkies(golfers) are all ready to blast me, so go ahead. I DON’T CARE. The gardeners are going to take their shots too, as well as the joggers. Once again, have at it. I am still going to not like, detest, strongly oppose, abhor, I think you get the message here, losing that hour on Sunday.
