Spring ahead Sunday morning at 2:00 am (?)- it's the right thing to do.

I once showed up to college an hour early cause of this pos holiday, I then sleped at my workstation, and woke up an hour into class..

What is your most embarassing Daylights story?
-and-
Wouldn't it be nice to ditch the whole thing all together? No DST, no Time Zones - just GMT eh?

The best DST story was when I woke up an hour late and decided there was no point in getting up so I stayed in bed

EVERYTHING. DST is everything that's wrong with this world and MORE. I really hate DST I don't understand it -- why do people need to save an hour? Where does that hour GO? To the bank? Jesus. Why can't people just sleep and wake up when they want to, like me? Relying on the sun is unreliable (if that makes sense).

GaH!

It had to do with farmers or something. I think.

I don't really, um, get too worried about it or anything.

They have their bloody rooster things, don't they?

Hey, it only takes a break until fall! Then you get it back.

Silly Shauna, it was this weekend!

I should know, I was an hour late for work this morning. (Thankfully all the customers were an hour late as well.)

losing an hour of sleep is possibly the worst thing that could happen to me.
