42. Don't knock DST to me

I'm not a morning person. I might be vertical and dressed and there could be words coming out of my mouth, but if it's before noon, I am not awake.

I don't do mornings. I've always sought out evening and night jobs.

For me, DST is the end of a dark tunnel that begins when standard time does, in late fall, that says I only see about 4 hours of daylight in the pit represented by December and January. No wonder I get depressed.

I wish we could stay on it all year. If suburbanites gripe about their kiddies waiting for the school bus in the dark, their districts can start school an hour later. The kiddies would likely appreciate that, especially the teenagers.
