I love Daylight Savings Time. Losing an hour of sleep is a wonderful scapegoat for my irresponsibility. Most of the time I don't have a good excuse for being a total ding-bat, but the day after we "spring forward" I have a built in reason for
...being late.
...not fixing my hair.
...drinking too much coffee.
...mismatching my clothes.
...saying things that don't make sense.
...and so on.
It's pure bliss!
Person I'm Talking To: "Why are you wearing navy socks with your black pants?"
Me: "Daylight Savings Time."
Person I'm Talking To: "I couldn't help but notice that you are 10 minutes late."
Me: "Yea, Daylight Savings Time."
Person I'm Talking To: "6 cups of coffee already. Daylight Savings Time, right?"
Me: "You got it!" (insert over exaggerated yawn)
Too bad it only comes once a year.
I have to conjure up excuses the other 364 days of the year and most people don't buy them.
"Spring Forward" is basically a free pass to do whatever you want and people are really compassionate because they sympathize with the fact that you didn't get enough sleep. Not only that, but you didn't get enough sleep and it's basically the government's fault because they invented Daylight Savings Time to begin with! You are just a victim.
See why I love it?
Oh you silly woman.
