Ahhh daylight savings time. The time of the year where everyone feels like "YES! One more hour of sleep!" It seems like we don't quite notice it sometimes, but this year, it was like finding money in my pocket.

I got up alarm-less (except at 6am, where my need to pee was an alarm) at 10:40am, feeling pretty good, but kinda bad realizing that I didn't have time to hit the ARC before work at noon. I checked my phone and realized Kate called me at 5:30 to tell me she made it back from LV, so I figured she'd be sleeping for a while.

I passed by Rome's clock and realized DST was in place. So now I am excited I have time to hit the ARC.

then I wondered about DST. Yes there is a set rule as to when it is (google that to find out), but who thinks "oh yah, its the 4th sunday of October, time to fall back!"

I'm guessing most people's friends tell them to fall back. Then I realize what a great thing this is -- it is a widely spread, widely accepted piece of gossip. Everyone wants to know (well they dont know they want to know, but they know it happens, and when it happens they want to know), everyone wants to tell other people, and when they learn about it, they get all excited like its the best news they heard all day.

Off to the ARC.
