Default Daylight SAVINGS Time - What do people think about it?

Does most people think this is a waste of effort to implement?

I like it cause there is more sunlight when I come home.

As for my job, some of out 15,000 dollar equipment doesnt have the option to automatically change time. Have to find and fix everything.

I love that it will be lighter later at night, only for the fact that the kids can enjoy playing outdoors later, otherwise...who the **** cares...

I like getting home and still having daylight to do things in the yard or take my dog for a walk. Stuff like that. Plus I don't get tired as early when it's light 'til 9pm.

Now that I start working at 7am, not such a big fan. It was getting light when I wake up, now I'm up before dawn again.

Hate it. Always have to check servers and make sure all times are correct.

I'm the boat of either go ahead/back (time of yr. pending) 30 minutes and be done with it forever.

My home PC is from 2005 so it changes automatically at the end of March. I was almost late for my soccer game last night because of that.

Yeah. But we still have to manually check (hospital). And some of our systems we have to take down when the time rolls backwards or meds will get screwed up.

Pain in the ass and it wastes day light. It needs to stay as it is now. I get so tired of not having enough day light after 5pm when we 'fall back'.

Love it, I'd rather have the light in the even when I can make something of it. Rather than when I'm sitting in my cube looking out the window.

I'ma a firm believer in the split the time difference and leave it the **** alone movement.
Or even just leave it on the daylight saving schedule.

If there is one thing Arizona (at least most of it, besides the Navajo nation) does right, it is that they do not observe daylight saving. I miss that. Although, if you have a clock that automatically changes and you live there, you have to manually change your timezone every daylight saving change.
