Attention: Indianapolis

*steps up to the podium*

STOP WHINING ABOUT DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME!

Seriously. This has been the topic of conversation all week. Everyone who has seemingly never left here is complaining.

I don't see what the big deal is, seriously. I mean, it could be that I lived in Illinois for 21 years, and had to do it every year. But...no. Indy people are just whining over nothing. It's a change, deal with it.

Yeah, I could understand where not changing your time would be a good thing. I went through un-daylight savings time up here last year, and fell right into it. But the entire United States is not going to change its ways just because Indiana doesn't want to. It hasn't changed its ways over this for a long time, even though most places in the world doesn't do it. Why would it change now?

But I guess what I couldn't stand the most was the people who had no clue what this meant, and how it was going to happen.

Like at work Friday night, it was after Midnight (so yeah, it was in all intents and purposes, Saturday), and this lady is just watching her cell phone clock.

I ask her, "Waiting for clock-out?"

She says, "No, I'm waiting for the time to change. It's supposed to change at 1:59 to 3."

Me: No, not now. It's supposed to change Saturday.

Her: But it is Saturday.

Me: Yeah, but you're not following right. I mean Saturday night.

Her: But it is Saturday.

Me: What I'm meaning is Saturday night. After midnight, which would be technically Sunday.

Her: No! It's supposed to change on Saturday!

Me: Listen to me! I lived in Illinois for 21 years of my life! I know how this works! It will change on SA-TUR-DAY NIIIIIIGHT!

Her: But it is Saturday, right?

Me: ....yes.

So I just let her keep watching the cell phone. And watching. Then 1:59 switched to 2. And she looked up from her cell phone, pissed.

Her: It didn't F***in change! That's all bulls***, they be lying!

Me: I tried to tell you, but you wouldn't listen.

And I clocked out.

And I bet on Sunday, she woke up with all her clocks running on Central Time, completely torn up over the fact that DST got ruined for her.
