This is my least favourite time of year. I wouldn't mind so much if there
was a logical and substantial reason.
I could never see much sense to it, either. Back in Poland, we had about 8hrs of daylight in the wintertime and about 16 in the the summertime. So, in winter, you went to school/work in semi-darkness and came back in semi darkness (made no difference whether it was 4PM or 6). In the summer, you went to bed in semi-dayilight and, if you happened to wake up "in the middle of the night" (like 4 AM), the day was beginning to show around the edges. No amount of fiddling with the clock was going to change *that*, certainly not one hour's worth... I've heard tell that, in some region of USSR, they moved the clocks back three times in a row, always forgetting to move them forward for the second half of the year, and still didn't notice much difference.
I don't mind the October change quite as much, since I "gain" an hour, but the springtime "loss" really hurts :) And I have yet to learn which of the two halves of the year is supposed to be the "real" time, and which the "saving" one... Pfui.
