And now that they've started Daylight Saving Time earlier for the past few years, we have DST for 8 months out of the year!

I hate both time changes, partly because it's disorienting, but also because I have to reset three regular clocks, plus the clocks on the microwave and stove, the HVAC thermostat, the telephone answering machine (yes, we still have a landline!), my watch, and the car clocks. Very annoying.

It's also going to be horrible tomorrow to have to get up more than an hour before sunrise.

to live in Indiana (before they changed the time zone a few years ago) and in AZ where we refuse to have another hour of daylight to bake in the summer. It's fucking nonsense. I live in AZ now so thankfully, I just have to adjust to all of the other people in my life that don't live here.
We really should revolt and stop this around the world.
