I bitched all week about the fact that I have to go to a meeting at work at 8AM on a Sunday.

Then today, I woke up 15 minutes late... rushed around getting ready... and as I was walking the dog (while saying "go poop... hurry... go poop"), I realized that it's DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME. God Dammit.

So I just missed out on the ONE day in the year where I could have got an extra hour of sleep.

Now I'll have to wait until next year to sleep in.

There's nothing to do at 6 in the morning, by the way.

I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind.... At the back of the Daylight Saving scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves.
