Wasting an Hour

I love the switch back from daylight-saving time to standard time. That extra hour we get when we "fall back" is an hour I feel I can waste without feeling guilty. Of course a lot of it is spent going through the house changing all the clocks. Thank goodness the computer clock changes itself!

I wonder how many people are oblivious to the change and will arrive today or tomorrow at some event (or work!) an hour early. That's not as bad as in the spring when the time changes to daylight-saving and folks are an hour late. It takes me at least a week to make up for that hour lost when we "spring forward".

For people who don't pay attention to the clock anyway, it doesn't change their being chronically late. (My sister calls it being "time efficient".) They like to have others wait on them; it gives them a feeling of control and power and attention. I, on the other hand, prefer being the wait-er rather than the wait-ee.

So now I've wasted my extra hour writing for my blog. It's time well-wasted, don't you think?
