By the light of ye olde OS X Software Update I see that our wise "leaders" are going to once again mess with the day they mess with the goddamn clock. You know what, I've always hated Daylight Saving Time, it's only really ever been a pain in the ass and adds pointless complication. It messes with your mind and body. That first daywhen you leave work and it's pitch black outside is a real bummer. The day before the sun was setting, but there was still light. Our bodies prefer to be ruled by the sun, not by arbitrary human tinkering. There is a very noticeable funk one gets in when the clock is changed. Yes, it is a natural bummer when the days start getting shorter and shorter, but for me the alteration of the clock has worse effects. I never felt as if I had "saved" very much by the change.
DST also has historically fucked up my work. There hasn't been a year that's gone by where the images in our Quark docs haven't been needlessly "modified" thanks to the automatic time change on the server. Although improved computer speed and software has lessened this issue as of late, I recall it wasn't too long ago that this put a big hurt on productivity. It was a huge deal to open up a 60-page Quark doc and have to update all the pictures. And you knew it was all for nothing. You were just wasting your time appeasing the whims of this braindead software so you could print the damn thing.
