Wasting Daylight Saving Time

 


I'm kind of okay with Fall back, but the Spring forward sucks big time. I forgot about the time change last night. So I woke up at what I thought was 6 a.m. (but it was technically still 5 a.m.) and plodded upstairs to feed the cats and then realized it wasn't 6 a.m. (when our Bengal starts nudging me to feed her and knocking things off my nightstand to get my attention). Both cats were still asleep and I cursed whoever came up with whole idea of messing with the clocks in the first place.

In the first place, time is an artificial construct. So we can't technically save it. We can just fuck with our concept of it. It's kind of like jet lag on a large scale basis. Turning the clocks forward just makes the entire day off (not to mention any analog clocks).  Our dog and our cats seem to be okay with it since I fed them at what the clock said was 5 p.m. and it was really 4 p.m. for everyone's body clocks. But they are always hungry so none of them turned the food down. We'll see what happens tomorrow morning.

Daylight Saving Time did give me an excuse to post several "Time for a change" t-shirt and clock designs on social media. I think they are loosely disguised protests that it is time for a change in National leadership. But who knows what the morons on social media think. 

Personally, I think it is about time for someone to buy one of my fucking t-shirts.
