Daylight Savings Time finally goddamned ends tomorrow morning.

This is, without question, The Most Annoying single event of the year.  Except for the other Most Annoying single event of the year, when we have to fuck with our clocks again.  Once a year isn't enough...no, they make us do it twice.




What the hell for?

Goddamn,  you people, pick a fucking time and stay with it. What, you think we have time to be thinking about this stupid crap, talking inanely about it to everyone, trying to figure out whether to set clocks ahead or back, never mind actually having to DO all the setting?  There's a  recession going on, you guys, we're out here with bleeding fingernails, trying to hold on to a place to live and food for our families, and here  you guys come trotting in with THIS dumb shit again.

What the hell is wrong with you people, anyway?

How about you do this?  How about you pick THE  one way you'd like our clocks to be, and we'll all just keep it that way, how does that sound to you, Ace?

Not only do you put us all thru this silly hoopla every year, but you actually contribute to the lowering of the global IQ with this shit. You don't have any idea of how stupid you're making everyone, do you?

Well, how about this?  You've been doing this shit for, what, a hundred years?  Whatever...longer than anyone on the planet has been alive, probably, and we STILL don't know for sure  when to set them ahead, and when to set them back.  Tell me that ain't stupid.

More?  Sure...

Golly, it sure is nice to gain (Damn, it sure sucks to lose) an hour, tonight...

You aren't gaining or losing a fucking thing, you cretins. There are exactly the same number of hours in every goddamned day. What, you think we do 23 hours a day for half the year, and 25 hours a day the other half, and it just averages out to 24?  Morons.

Then, once we chat about it, and figure out what direction to push the time, there is the actual DOING of it.  It would be one thing if they were all like the clocks on our computers, of which I have many, and did it automatically with no effort (or thought, come to that) at all, but they ain't.

I like clocks, and have a lot of them.  I want to be able to turn my head or move my eyes, no matter where I am in any room, and be able to see a clock and the time.  (1)  But I have different types of clocks, and they all present a problem of one sort or another, because of YOU people.  I have clocks that plug in, digital clocks, clocks on radios, on walls, on tables, clocks that use batteries...they're all a pain.

Even the ones that shouldn't be, the ones on my computer, are.  Why, you ax?  Well, I respond, because, thanks to you making my IQ quite a bit lower after six decades of this shit, I can't remember whether the clocks all reset themselves (of course they do) (2) or whether I have to do something to effect that change.

And speaking of replacing batteries and all that, I'm a cripple.  I can't climb over things, or stand on a ladder, I can't stand on my tippy toes to reach a clock or change a battery, and though that isn't your fault, trying to force me to change the time on those clocks is.  But, I'm too smart for  you there.  If I can't reach it, and if it needs a battery...I just let it go dead.

Huh?

You assholes didn't think of anyone doing THAT, did you?

I may be stupid, but I'm sure not smart...

No, I don't know why, and who cares?

Don't they?
