I feel like daylight savings is a shitty deal for anyone who's not a morning person. It's going to be light out when I wake up regardless of whether sunrise is at 8 or at 7 or whenever; but now in addition to it getting dark earlier, it's getting earlier earlier too. Sweet.

I agree. Now my body wakes up at 6am instead of 7am. It wastes energy, and I don't think its helping too many farmers right now.

Actually, DST hurts farmers more then it helps them. DST was invented as an energy saving measure, apparently.

Yeah it pretty much sucks for the farming situation. Fortunately, most farm equipment has big lights on it so people can combine in the dark.

I fucking hate Daylight Savings Time. Not only does it take ages for people to get used to the new time, it just ruins the entire day. I wake up at the same time every morning, meaning that I've already wasted an hour or two of daylight, and on days when I get out of work between 5:30 and 6, the sun's already long gone. The days are short enough in the wintertime! I just don't see the point.
