The timezones. They piss me off.
There were three, but the dick of a governor fixed that real good. Well one state rep from Vincennes actually cast the deciding vote, and he's not in my district, but whatever...
So Indiana didnt' like the idea of Daylight Savings Time (DST), fine and fucking dandy, I don't have to switch my clock twice a year because the sun comes up later in the winter, and earlier in the summer. Why people feel the need to have DST is way beyond me anyways.
If you want shit to open an hour later, then open shit an hour later. And why timezones? Why not a standard 24 hour day. Have GMT be actual time, and every timezone be different. Who gives a crap if the highest point of the sun happens at 2 a.m.? It doesn't fucking matter, you'll still work 8 hours a day, and then you won't have to ask "What timezone are you on" Whenever you go anywhere, all you'll need to know is, "When are you open"
Why don't we do this? Because everyone is stupid.
"But then Noon won't be noon, Noon will be 2 a.m." Who gives a rats ass?
What did they do before their were standard timezones? I guess the world actually ended or something... Pffft. Idiots.
But in a bold move, the idiot governor of Indiana made it his only point in office to switch the entire state over to Eastern DST.... only the state doesn't exactly do that... The Federal DOT does...
So Now we're going to have to go on DST, but the federal DOT is having hearings on what timezone each county wants to be on...
WHAT THE FUCK...
SO now, instead of a single timezone, areas that are near Chicago, and areas near Louisville, and areas in the southwestern part of the state want to be on their neighbor's time. Well I say let them... then give the fucking places over and have Indiana all on one timezone.
Here's another point.
I work nights. You're supposed to switch your clocks at midnight correct?
Well, what's going to happen when I work on a day that has 23 hours and one in the fall with 25 hours... how am I going to write that on a time ticket? I'm sure the stingy fucks here won't pay me for the extra hour that magically appears, but I'd be willing to bet I don't get that hour that disappears either... Idiots.
And why do we have to be stupid too? Just because the rest of the country is retarded enough to trouble themselves by switching their clocks, and announcing it on the radio, and all that jazz. They could stay the same time year round. It's stupid. Just fucking stupid. You don't 'save' daylight... there isn't any more daylight when you have DST than when you don't. It's just stupid.
I swear some 997987 year old Senator or whichever bureaucratic idiot camp came up with that ingenious idea that changing your clock automagically added an hour of daylight to your life, is laughing his unholy ass off in hell right now. Fucker. If I didn't think he/she/it was dead already I may have hunted them down, and used a "laser" to burn thier eyes out, and effectively give them all those hours of daylight they saved.
Come to think of it, maybe that's why we have lasers, it's from all the daylight we save that we never really see... the laser makers are turning on giant light eating machines, for lack of a better word, we'll call them Anti-lasers, in the morning and towards evening, thus eating all the extra daylight that our ingenious plan was saving up. Pfft.
And another thing.
People in Indianapolis think that thier retarded city is the only thing that exists in the whole of the state. And when you ask someone in Indianapolis where they're from originally, they'll say "Southern Indiana" and mean Martinsville. Which is like 30 minutes south of Indy, which is 2 and a half hours north of where I'm from. And Indiana is taller than it is wide, so you'd think that you'd divide it into thirds at least, considering that they placed Indianapolis in the center of the state, and call that Central Indiana, only when you point that out they look at you stupid. Then they ask you where you are from and you have to tell them "Southern Indiana". Of course you have to describe where you're from because they've never heard of any town within a 150 mile radius of your homeplace. Then you have to say, "I'm about 30 minutes from the Ohio River, so I live in Southern Indiana." Then they say all shocked and stuff, "Oh wow, that is Southern Indiana" Like you've been lying to them the entire time you were blurting out the 300 towns that they've never heard of.
Then the fucks that pretend they live in Chicago call the 'area' they're from "The Region", only no-one that isn't from "The Region" has any idea what it is until it's explained to them.
"Well that's what I call it." Gee thanks for that, only NO ONE ELSE UNDERSTANDS. Idiots.
So, In short, DST sucks and is causing the downfall of society as we know it. Pretty soon, I can't tell if it's going to be within 46 or 50 hours, because I don't know how many hours are in a day anymore, but pretty soon, We'll start wearing sundials like ole' Freddy Flintstone did. Stupid fuckers. :thumbsdn:
[Edit]I forgot to mention that the reason for the time switch was "to strengthen the econonmy". WHAT THE FUCK. I don't think I've ever heard one inckling of any one or anything that refused to do business with Indiana because they weren't on DST. That may be the worst political statment I've heard since "Mission Accomplished!". We won't go there...
