You know you're overworked when . . .

It depends on the part of the country. Some places don't change their clocks.

I'm so looking forward to the time change.

But the link is specific to a state that does observe DST. It's just programming! Where's that FMB?

[sundial]

Well, this will be interesting this year. It's just now starting to get a teenie bit lighter before the time change. Now we'll be back to lighter mornings and evenings that get darker earlier again. Hmpf!

??? Now I'm the one who's confused!

My link is for Atlanta. Some pages has the correct time. Some do not. Considering I have to do a training ride at 7:00am Sunday morning, I really would like to know if it's gonna be really dark, or just kinda dark...

When DST starts it will be DARKER in the AM and LIGHTER in the PM. Eventually, by the end of April, it's lighter in the AM again. I don't think it will be very dark at 7, just sorta dark.
When I commute, I have to leave at 5:45-5:55, so I can't start for about 4-6 weeks (can't put a light on my road bike).

It will be lighter in the a.m., but I suspect it will be darker earlier in the evening (initially) because as you know, you spring forward one hour. In other words, we'll be an hour closer to dark thirty right after the time change, me thinks.

the best way to know that is see what it is like at 6AM tomorrow (or today if you were up then). how dark is 6AM on saturday? cause that is how dark it will be at 7AM on sunday, cause on sunday you will have moved your clock ahead one hour by the time 7AM rolls around. just like i know that when i usually leave work at 7PM, this coming monday it will be as light out as it was today at 6PM, which i like.

is it really more complicated than i'm making it, cause i could be easlity missing something, wouldn't be the first time.

(and obviously this method doesn't work indefinitely, as in however dark it is at 6AM tomorrow is how dark it will be at 7AM on 1 june. just works real well for that first weekend when the clocks change.)

I'm excited about the time change. Longer rides after work! I really need them, too! After I leave work I still answer my cell phone as..."Send-outs this is Jennifer...how may I help you?" Eeeekkkk!

I'll admit it -- you lost me on this one. (Of course, I'm blonde, so that's not so hard to do.)

But since we're going to Daylight Savings Time and springing forward, the evenings will stay lighter longer, but the mornings will be darker.

This is a mixed blessing for me, since I'm not a morning person.
1. It won't matter to me that the mornings are darker
2. I really miss the extra hour of sleep that we give up when springing forward.

Why can't we "spring forward" during the working hours? Say 5pm on a Friday? OTOH, for the overworked contingent, having an hour taken away during work can mean missing a deadline. Maybe we should just leave it as is.... (Like I'm Queen of the World and can decide these things...)

[sundial]

OK, my hormone patch is about worn out, lol. I can't think.

One hour of sleep that you get back six months later? My. I thought I was a princess . . . .

[kelownagirl]

I hate DST with a passion. I'm glad I've had an extra 24 hours sleep in the past 3 days...

Must remember to rub it in when I get an extra hour of sleep on April 6th...

Heck, maybe I'll just go down to NZ on April 6 so I can get my hour of sleep back.

But, but, but...

Are you calling me a princess?! Wow, I think the last person who called me that was drunk and pretty annoyed...OK furious, with me. Wow.

Yes, foregoing one hour of sleep is a lot to ask of some of us. Gosh, it's like having to give up a meal or something. I mean, sure it's only one meal, but you definitely miss it when you don't get it.

Couldn't I just stay up an extra hour instead of having to get up an hour earlier? Well, I guess that's the empirical evidence that I'm not a morning person.

But being called a princess... Dang.
