I've always felt that the concept of resetting the clocks for Daylight Savings Time is supreme hubris on our part. It seems to me it would be much more reasonable to change the hours we do things, so that, for instance, work hours would be 8 to 4 during the summer.

And that's why I love being a teacher.  My work hours are nil over the summer, from early June through the beginning of August.  Aaah.  I love it!  Although my work weeks during the school year can easily be 60 hour workweeks (which is why I'd love to slowly garrote people who claim that "teachers do nothing!").  We work our asses off, people.  All teaching 5 classes per day.  120 middle school kids, yo.  But it's actually awesome.  Most of the time.

You actually teach them?  I thought the purpose of middle school was just a place to let them age until their brains catch up to their bodies.  Middle school for me was the social pressure of high school without the interesting classes, plus a bunch of teachers instead of the single one from elementary days.
Plus being the foreign kid.  Though I got my accent beaten out of me within 6 months I think.

That's nice Carlos.  I'm a fan of big holes in the ground.

due to daylight savings time, suddenly I am walking back from class in the dark 3 days out of 5. This... makes me feel like my day is much longer than it actually is. my schedule is easy, but walking home in the dark makes it feel... long.
