After 23 years if not having to deal with daylight savings time, I have dealt with it for the past 16 years. This does not mean I have gotten used to it.
It is bad enough having to remember to reset alarm clocks when you go to bed the night before. Not only am I awake at 2 AM when time us adjusted, I am at work. Because most of our crew take lunch at 2 AM, we have to be sure the time has changed before we clock out. We had to stay until 8 AM to get our eight hours in. If gets worse in early November when we lose an hour. If we clock out too early, the system thinks we clocked out at 1:59 AM and clocked in at 1:58 AM.
Being a former Zonie, I ask “Why are we bothering with DST?” Non Zonies ask ” Why don’t you start lunch at 2:15 or later?” We have to be off the floor at 2 so the automatic scrubber, AKA Junior, can scrub the grocery section. This would normally take about 40 minutes if a Junior didn’t manage to get stuck. He is smart enough to avoid hitting things by coming to a complete stop. He can even call maintenance when he is stuck. Junior is too stupid to actually figure out to get unstuck, so he is finishing up about the time we come back from lunch.
