DLS is not change for good though. In fact, it's an anachronism based on a mistaken hypothesis. You can say that the real change would be to eliminate an outdated and factually inaccurate inconvenience to society.
Don't confuse your own subjective opinion for objective facts. If you like DLS, you like DLS -- your feeling about the matter don't make DLS "right" or "wrong" though. Who has the common mind now?

It sucks this much.
Got home Saturday night at midnight. Went to sleep at 1:30am. Had a photo session I was supposed to be awake for at 5:00AM. Yes, do the math. That gives me 2 hours and 30 minutes of sleep. Woke up at 6:45. Was late. Ultra embarrassing.
Then this morning, similar story. Didn't wake up for work until 7:15. Didn't even hear my alarm two days in a row.

It's the stuff at the end of the tunnel I think.
FML, effects didn't hit me until around 10pm, I mean 11pm last night. Tried to goto sleep but was all wired for some stupid reason. Would start to nod off and just wake up. Wide awake. Finally jumped online thinking it would make me sleepy. Finally passed out at like 4:15am to get woken at 5 by the Wife's alarm.
Thank God for Peets Triple Shot White Mochas. Last one was at 2pm today, hopefully I'll get a normal night's sleep b/c this screwed-up sleep pattern isn't good for getting healed up.
I feel even worse for my buddy who finally got his flight out of the Philippines, his jet-lag is way worse.
I wonder if the effects of daylight savings on say a retiree are worse? Like could it be a health risk the same as other stuff?

I was the same way.. I got maybe 4 hours of on/off sleep.. And now i'm coming into work an hour early, so i'm essentially getting up 2 hours earlier than i'm used too..

Obama, don't approve of him.
Swalwell, well, he stalls well.
Boxer, don't get me started on her, same for Eastin.
Feinstein, yeah, she's about as useful as the other 4 ladies I just listed.
