I really wish we'd do away with it completely. Every year it is mentioned yet nobody does anything about it. All it means is that we now have 3 months of darkness from 5:00pm onwards.Originally posted by Qicmee View PostSome of our UK friends already changed on Sunday, October 27. Before BF4 release.
They totally wasted the extra hour.

It essentially is supposed to help with lighting and such. Though there are whole states that don't change.Originally posted by juneau View PostI really wish we'd do away with it completely.

Now here is a thing... do they pay you for that extra hour?Originally posted by baconoclock View PostNot me, I have to work tonight because of time change
and on the flip side do you lose an hours pay in spring?
and if your contracted to work say 6hrs, can you go home early?
Always wondered about that, would assume they do obviously pay, cos your working that...
if your salaried it makes it less of an issue.
but the hours thing... now theres a question


I'm not insane. I'm just overwhelming!

Agreed.Originally posted by Dead...Again View PostI hate the whole Daylight savings time thing. I wish we kept daylight savings time hours all year round.
Our earliest sunrise is roughly 4:25am and sunet around 9:45pm. Factoring in residual light before and after, we're dark for about 5 hours a day during summer. I love it.
