    Default Are you ready for the time change this coming weekend?

    I love the extra hour sleep but getting use to it being dark so early is hard for me to get use to.

    Sure. It means the snow is finally coming, which means I can finally get my snowboard out.

    It already gets insanely dark here early. When this time thing goes into effect, it'll be getting dark at 4:30pm.

    I hate it being dark at five. I sometimes feel depressed, but then again I don't mind being out and about at night.

    eh, light, dark... all the same to me. Most mornings I run on auto-pilot anyways

    Old Man on the other hand... he has to start work at 6, so he is always up at 4:30. It will be darker for him longer... and on the flip side, it will be darker quicker in the evening.

    He's from Memphis and I seriously think he's developed SADs since moving up here to New England.
    I can't be out of money... I still have checks left!

    I am not very fond of it getting dark so early. I feel like it cuts down on productivity, for me anyway. I'd heard that one positive thing was for children standing at the bus stop early in the morning, that they wouldn't be in the dark.
