because a lot of assholes want more light after work...this is fine for white collar assholes, but I can guarantee you this blue collar asshole hates it...I start at 7 am and go to bed early, so light fucking sux at bedtime...and it's been dark in the morning until today...oh yeah, that's because we went back to real time and noon is now when the sun is at its highest point of the day like reality says it's supposed to be...

in a nutshell fuck the DST crap...it just starts to get light at 7 am in the spring and poof! GONE because of fake time and it's back to darkness in the morning...it really sucks hairy dirty ass to try and wiggle around an unfamiliar site in the dark, I guess the day I prang something I'll tell my insurance adjuster it was because of DST!

traffic...simple as that...on top of the fact the majority of sites I work on start at 7 (which means parking after that time can be hard to find)...trust me, I'm the type of person who you don't want showing up for work already hot because of assholes in traffic...I have enough trouble dealing with your typical tradesman as it is (short sighted and have no concern for the trades around them, a lot of the younger generation who walk around with their phones in their hands when they should be paying attention to where the fuck they're going, painters who like getting high from brain killing chemicals and have absolutely no regard for those around, etc. ad infinitum) and toss in people who just have to be one more car ahead on top of that and it can be a disaster...after 35 years of being a carpenter I feel I have the right to have issues with "yunguns"who aren't serious;) ili

Where the fuck do you work, that you get to choose when you start working?

My boss says work starts at 8am. he's pretty cool about it, I can show up at 8:05 and not get my ass handed to me, but, I don't get to say "nah, 8am sucks, I'll see you at 10"

"a lot of assholes want more light after work..." I overlooked that simple part, I bet there is a lot more profit to be sucked out of people with more daylight after normal work hours.
