Daylight Savings Time

See, I told you things would be random here. Why the heck is Bee posting about Daylight Savings time?

Because honestly, I think it was rather stupid of the government to pass the bill to have the fall portion of the DST mess be pushed to November, and pushed into whatever month it is in the spring (I can't remember quite off the top of my head. I just woke up). We don't end up conserving more energy this way- I just have to turn my lamps on when I wake up at 7 am, so I'm not stubbing my toes on everything in the room.

And what prompted this rant, Bee?

Well, I purchased an alarm clock that would keep track of DST, and set itself ahead and back at the correct time of year. Unfortunately, now that DST is all out of whack, my alarm clock switches itself ahead a week early. Which explains me sleeping in until 9:30 on a weekend. (I know, I know, I'm a college student, I should sleep in until noon! But I have things I have to do today, and besides, I stopped sleeping in until noon when I hit 23, I think.) And for the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to set the time on my clock! (It's one of the 'smart' alarm clocks, which keeps track of the time by computer and battery, so you never have to set it) After poking at it for a bit, I managed to set it an hour ahead- I'll have to go through this process again next week, when the rest of my clocks switch backward on their own and this one stays an hour ahead.

Well, that's it for me today. Please click the ads, what I end up earning from them will help pay for my dorm room.... how I ended up back on campus is another story for another day.
