Daylight Savings Time started on Sunday.<\/p>\n
There’s an upside to DST. I enjoy driving home from work in daylight instead of twilight.<\/p>\n
Actually, I downright prefer<\/i> it. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Even last night, when I left the office a fair bit later than the norm, it wasn’t too terribly dark outside.<\/p>\n
There are downsides, though.<\/p>\n
It’s dark<\/i> when the alarm goes off now. I don’t like that.<\/p>\n
Worse, my brain doesn’t like that. “It’s dark, stupid! You should still be sleeping!” That sounds like something that should be written out in LOLcat pidgin.<\/p>\n
And I’m hungry at the wrong<\/i> times.<\/p>\n
Despite eating breakfast, my stomach is quite upset that I’m not eating at what it considers to be the “normal” time. Bah, stomach! Bah!<\/p>\n
It would have been an adjustment, whether we changed the clocks now, or if we waited several weeks as we did prior to last year.<\/p>\n
Speaking of which, the study released last week that showed that Daylight Savings Time results in increased<\/i> energy costs? There’s a cynical part of me that wonders if the President wanted an expansion of DST as a present to his energy company cronies. It’s an obvious thing, isn’t it?<\/p>\n
I need coffee.<\/p>\n
