It blows me away that we change the clock to meet corporate time tables vs having flexible work days.

    And not like it makes a damn difference anyways. It’s gonna be extra dark outside regardless of if we fuck with everyone’s schedule or not. One hour doesn’t make a significant difference in the amount of light we get in a day when we still just work for 8-9 hours of the day inside of a building.

    Exactly. People tend to blame the winter darkness on the clock change but even if we didn't change our clocks, winter only gives us about 9 hours of sunlight during the shortest days of winter.

    Yeah like, whoopidee doo, it’s light out during the morning while I’m off to work, I sure do get to enjoy that glimpse of daylight during my commute! Gonna be dark after I’m done regardless of the extra hour.
