sly father time

Daylight savings time.

Wikipedia describes it as this:
"Daylight saving time (DST)is the convention of advancing clocks so that afternoons have more daylight and mornings have less. Typically clocks are adjusted forward one hour near the start of spring and are adjusted backward in autumn."

It just so happens that this Saturday my alarm clock will go off an hour earlier. Every year DST, is it's apparently called, never fails to complicate my life. Don't get me wrong,I'm thankful for another hour of daylight.

But most years my phone (which also serves as my alarm clock) fails to adjust to the new time, making me an hour late for things. Which, for someone who's already late for things, isn't exactly good news. So, I propose that every person on earth re-schedules every event precisely one hour later.

That's not too much to ask, right?
