Daylight Savings Time

Pete on March 9th, 2009

I absolutely love that it’s light out when I get home from work right now.

Speaking of work, today was the first day on the job. More or less exactly what I expected, a little better in some spots. I’m sure I’ll have more to say about this at some point in the not-too-distant future.

For now, suffice it to say that it’s nice to be back out and doing something. I’m not so sure Scout agrees, but I’m doing what I can to keep him exercised since the new salary doesn’t provide quite as much for extravagant things like dog walkers.

Other things of note that are going on: Ara, Kecia, and Reese are coming to town this weekend. I’m trying to figure out what to do with them while they’re here. Besides spoiling my adorable niece completely rotten, of course.

    I’m wondering who’s going to be the first a-hole to point out that it’s “Saving”… without the extra “s”. I hate those kind of people.

      “savings” is a common variant, per Wikipedia:

      In the normative form, daylight saving time uses the present participle saving as an adjective, as in labor saving device; the first two words are sometimes hyphenated, as in daylight-saving time. Daylight savings time, daylight savings, and daylight time are common variants, the savings by analogy to savings account.[95] Willett’s original proposal used the term daylight saving, but by 1911 the term summer time replaced daylight saving time in draft legislation in Britain.
