I keep time, and I knowingly show up late because nobody knows what the fuck to do with time. Even the people in charge can’t make up their fucking mind about what time it is, and when they do, they change it. Then after all the countries of the fucking world decide to change their time at the same instant, we, the states united, say “Fuck you!” to the world and change everything up again. I fucking hate “daylight saving time” with a fucking passion if you haven’t already caught on. It serves no purpose, and here’s a big “Fuck you!” to all those trying to say it does; it doesn’t.
“It gives us more daylight in the day.”
Uh, no it doesn’t. I don’t remember the sun or earth to follow man’s mandates. Just wake the fuck up sooner if you want so much daylight.
“It saves energy by allowing lights to be turned off longer.”
Wrong again. It burns up so much energy and man hours changing all the fucking clocks and scheduling plans that its net value is negative. It’s a waste of time (yes, I made that damn pun on this topic) to change time. Most offices keep the lights turned on all the damn time anyway. They keep the lights on during the day for employees to properly see, and at night as a “theft protection measure” although the latter just makes it a more entertaining target to hit. What about the souls that didn’t get the memo about the changed time and go about their lives, shall they be flogged?
“What about all the finding the US Department of Transportation found beneficial?”
I believe the National Bureau of Standards shot down every finding the US DOT had that shined a good light on changing time. I’d trust statisticians for data over politicians any day.
“Something about schools and school buses”
It changes every time I hear it, but there’s always something about schools and buses. All I can say is change the damn hours of the school and let the time just be. You’re not the center of the fucking world, and time doesn’t revolve around your schedule. Let time just be, and adjust your schedule to it damn it. Fucking dipshits trying to bend a steel girder into a dainty origami crane annoy me to no end.
If everyone wants to keep changing time, just change the time for good and let it be done with. China has a single time zone based on Beijing time, and that pisses off the people way west of the city, but it doesn’t change. We’re a paranoid schizophrenic culture that doesn’t know when something is. White rabbit are we!
Riddle me this: if I hire a hooker that charges hourly during a DST switch, am I charged an extra hour in the spring and get a free service hour in the fall?
