time change
I am sorry but this time change an hour forward just sucks.
Anyone else dislike or like. One thing in Iraq they did right was no time change ASh

Re: time change
I like it in the fall...
They should do the spring time change at 3:00 on a Friday afternoon.

Re: time change
Up here in Central Alberta it's light till 11:00 at night in the summer.
Makes it nice to play ball in the evenings and makes it possible to golf till 9:00 at night. That and going for a nice slalom on smooth as glass water on a quiet lake, there is nothing in the world that beats that.

Re: time change
I like it and hate it. I like it being light later into the evenings. But I hate that it's dark when I get up. I know it'll change, but right now I hate getting up when it's dark. I usually go to Az to play with the boat and they don't ever change time.

Re: time change
DST needs to be obliterated. It is past its usefulness and causes millions of dollars in software development costs ranging from servers, pc even things that many do not think about like power line sensors, etc. The shear amount of costs to an infrastructure is incredible; maybe billions world wide. I can say that my company has spent almost a million in just patches over the years because DST does not happen on a schedule rather follow governments decision of when to engage it.
It is stupid... it is old and useless and I am tired today because of it.

Re: time change
To add to the millions; last week my company spent more than 10k to fly down to a customer just because of this issue. Not because we did anything wrong, rather the customer did... it is a long story but still cost both companies much money.

Re: time change
Hawaii had no time changes. It just meant an hour difference when I got calls in the middle of the night from my ex that was on the east coast. 3 years and she never figured out that we were 5 or 6 hours behind....ughh along with banks, telemarketers, and the usual onslaught of useless calls you get. And yes I stopped answering the phone but the thing still rang.

Re: time change
Nothing worse than fall when it's dark at 4:30 PM and nothing better than summer when it's light till 8:30 or later.
No fun going to car shows after work in the dark and it sucks not being able to do anything outside in the fall and winter after work. I'd love to have it light into the evenings as late as possible 24/7 Who do I call to get that done, LOL ...... |

Re: time change

Re: time change
I like more daylight after work, when I go to work it's always dark so the afternoon light is what works for me.
I just wish it was on DST all year, then I'd still have a little bit of daylight after work in the winter months.

i'm with you all that the later day light is nice,
again like TKat13 mention, it was from the past that it was useful, but now just not. I never did think of how much it would effect by the change. glad i'm not a lone in this craziness ASh

Someone has to be making money off this. Standard rule of following the money to determine causation for things that don't logically make sense...

Re: time change
I like it too. It's really nice to have another hour of light in the spring through the fall. It used to be something to help farmers back in the day right? I don't think it helps them particularly anymore.

Re: time change
wouldn't want to disappoint those Idaho potato farmers, for sure.
because I'm positive the increased sales of French Fries at Hardee's was all about DST and had nothing to do with the end of the Winter school semester the last week of April. http://commdocs.house.gov/committees/science/hsy73325.000/hsy73325_0.HTM Quote:

Re: time change
I love the Pacific time zone, and then when we have daylight savings here in the Pacific Northwest it doesn't get dark until 9:30. The sun starts coming up at 4:30am.

Re: time change
I hate it!
What is really weird is while I was in the military I went into Afghanistan and looked at my iPod and the time had changed by a half hour. I thought my iPod had freaked out and broke. I did a search and come to find out that here in the USA we break our time zones down by the hour, there is was done by 30 minutes. For instance right now it is 6:45am in Tampa but Afghanistan its 3:15.pm. Still scratching my head over how its an hour somewhere in the world but a half-hour somewhere else.
