I’m not a fan of Daylight Savings Time to begin with… I think it’s a bit outdated. After all, most of us are not farmers and do have electricity, so the need to push back the time in the fall to gain light an hour earlier isn’t the necessity of years past. And as much as everyone enjoys gaining an hour in the fall, springing forward is a real pain.
I don’t think the government is going to go along with my elimination of DST, so I have a suggestion.
How about, instead of 2am Sunday morning, we end DST at 10am Monday morning?
We assemble into lab meeting and start discussing general lab business. At 9:59, the person presenting for the meeting stands up to talk, opens their powerpoint presentation… and suddenly it becomes 11:00am. Lab meeting over, everyone dismissed.
I wouldn’t mind if that hour disappeared from my life…
