I thought I might commerate the day by re-posting a classic, one of the funniest blog posts I have every read, by Anonymous Lawyer:
This is a terrible day. Every year it frustrates me. For no good reason, tonight at 2 A.M. we lose a billable hour. Daylight Savings time is ridiculous. Individually, it's not a big deal, but think of it on a firm-wide level. That's hundreds of billable hours. Gone. Without a trace. And don't tell me we get them back in October when the clocks turn the other way, because by October everyone forgets about the debt they incur back in April, and just uses the extra hour to sleep. It's a useless waste of valuable time, and I hate having to tolerate it every single year. Definitely on the list of things I will change when I become chairman of the firm.
Personally, I always feel some stress on the day I lose an hour. That might, however, be due to the fact that at this time of year I am usually in the last throes of getting an article ready to send out for submission (same story this year...).
