    Took the words out of my mouth. I can't imagine having sunlight until 9 at night in the summer. WTF?

    It's awesome and I'm a little sad every year when it's dark out earlier than that at the end of summer. The tradeoff is having to commute in the dark during winter, even though you work a 9-5. I dunno how you kids in Scandinavia do it.

    I'd like to just move all the clocks back 30 minutes and then never ever move the time again. Let's just do away with DST.

    Try working night shift in the middle of january, I went to bed at 7, woke up at 5, and I would go for days without even seeing the sun

    but then I quit and I see the sun all the time

    nah, that would make sense :p

    I love DST this time of year. I work an hour later, from 1:15PM to 9:45PM!

    Woohoo! I'm at work right now for an all-night session of maintenance and babysitting for our remote hosting servers, which are coast-to-coast. There's a bevy of snacks and beverages out in the lobby, and they're bringing in breakfast around 5.

    Not much of a stretch for me since I'm usually up until 1 or 2, even on weekdays.

    They're going all out. Waffles, pancakes, bacon, sausages, hash browns, biscuits and gravy, fried chicken strips, four different kinds of fruit juice, and three more tables of stuff I haven't even looked at. Ah, it's great to work for a thriving company.
