Fuck DST! I was playing a game of LoL at 1:15 AM telling myself I'm gonna go get some Wendy's after.

Finished the game, and it was 3 AM. FML.

I'm not even getting paid for this extra hour worked. Bullshit!

Zordon 03-08-2015 05:58 AM

I wish they would just scrap DST.

So who else is completely :drunk: on this wonderfully poop Monday morning. :squint:

Zordon 03-09-2015 07:06 AM

I put on my sweat shirt backwards... twice... this morning. Third times a charm.

Reeyal 03-09-2015 07:12 AM

DST sucks. Sleeping schedule is all messed up for a week until adjusted.

That's when the clocks go back an hour, brah.

When the clocks go forward, if anything, you would get paid an extra hour that didn't exist.

mr_chin 03-09-2015 08:54 AM

Heard a co-worker say they are going to scrap DST in the future. Not sure if it affects us.

POLL: Washington State considers scrapping daylight saving time | Globalnews.ca

I personally think DST is a waste of time depending on how you look at it. For those who are working during when the clock springs forward/fall backward, it kinda sucks.

white rocket 03-09-2015 08:54 AM

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand, was late for work this morning. I like gaining an hour better.

6o4__boi 03-09-2015 09:01 AM

It does nothing but mess ppl sleeping pattern and get ppl extra grumpy on Monday.

Armind 03-09-2015 09:20 AM

This is ruff.

I have been wishing for the world to abandon DST for many a years.

This video from CGP Grey explains the issues:


If washington does abandon DST there would be significant pressure on BC to follow suit.

People make such a big deal out of this. Your sleep gets fixed in less than 7 days. It's only one hour :rolleyes:

Personally like the fact that when I come out of work there's at least 2 or more (esp in summer) hours of sunlight and that means more activities and enjoying the day.

multicartual 03-09-2015 09:51 AM

I thought I missed my 10:45 doobie so I ended up having it twice :)

Actually seven days is a really high estimation on how long it takes someone to recover from a 1 hour shift.

Conservative estimates at the time loss, and economic impact look at only statistics and anomalies on the monday after the shift.

Which means that they proceed under the assumption that most people are only affected by the shift for 1 day. Even in this conservative assumption the productivity loss and $ impact is pretty significant, we're talking in the 8 figure range for the US alone.

Well soon it will be time for a sunny day bike ride on the seawall :)
