Thoughts on Daylight Savings Time  

10 members have voted

  1. 1. I currently live in a time zone that has Daylight Savings Time

    • Scrap It! Don't mess up my sleep schedule anymore
      3
    • Leave it, I like to have as much sunlight as possible year round
      7

  2. 2. I currently live in a time zone that doesn't have Daylight Savings Time

    • Bring it here! Not sure what the heck it is or what it does, but I like to try new things
      4
    • Um, one word answer, NO.
      6

First off, a PSA. If you live in one of the areas of the globe that has daylight savings time and you spring your clocks forward, but forgot to last night...

YOU'RE LATE

Well now that is out of the way, I wonder how many tens of you will be awake enough to read this week's riveting edition of the GA Weekly Wrap Up :sleep:I know I'm going back to bed right after I get up :P I've also thrown in a little poll to gauge everyone's feelings towards this biannual occurrence.

For those that did stay awake this long, here is what happened the past week here at the GA Blog.

Monday, Cia introduced us to the March Can't Stop Reading Story (CSR) for all of us to dive into.

On Thursday, Myr was back with another wild and crazy Grammar Guide:

If that is too confusing, this is how I learned what conjunctions were :gikkle: Looks like others learned the same way ;) 

On Friday, the Prompt Team suggested we all draw a green beer and sit back and give a couple of new entries a go:

Saturday, Comicality checked in with a new Writing Article:

Here is a wrap up of this week's Words of the Day:

virtuoso, sententious, exigent, diurnal, litmus test, conundrum, enjoin

Ack, we are a 1/3 of the way through March! Where has it gone? :unsure: How are we doing on goals?

For that one person (so far, I'm looking at you @astone2292) who expects extra hours of daylight... daylight saving time doesn't mean that the light lasts longer, we just move it around (sort of)! :rolleyes:

There wasn't an "I'm impartial" option.

I don't care if we keep DST or not. Customers will keep coming in my store, chirping about how beautiful/nasty it is outside while I'm stuck inside. :boy:

Yes, but if you're in a job that traps you inside away from the sun, that "extra hour" of sunlight shifted from moving the clocks forward an hour means you have hope of seeing it when you emerge from the daily soul suck of earning a living. I personally hate the sun no matter what time it is, but hey... some people feel this insane need for it. :P
