That's right, this cage gots a sweeeeet view.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A House committee voted on Wednesday to expand U.S. daylight-saving time by two months to help reduce energy consumption, but rejected a plan to shave total U.S. oil demand by 1 million barrels a day.
Both proposals were offered as amendments to be tacked on to a broad energy bill that was debated by the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
The panel agreed in a voice vote to move the start of daylight-saving time in the United States -- which occurs when clocks are turned forward by one hour -- one month earlier to the first Sunday in March. The end of daylight time would be moved back one month to the last Sunday in November.
What do you think? The argument is that offices would save money because they'd be open when it was light. Does it make much difference in March and November?

I used to have a window...
But I don't mind not having one, it was always freezing in the morning inad boiling in the afternoon in my office, and it drove me crazy.

Now tagless for your comfort.
It won't matter in Indiana, anyway. They still refuse to recognize DST.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Indiana wants me. Lord I can't go back there.

I dunno about offices, but it would sure make a difference to me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have a window. It opens, and overlooks a parking lot. I sit with my back to it most of the time.
Extending DST is just gonna make there be more time when I have to get up in the dark. I'm against that.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I gots a big window and can see palm trees, train tracks, Ikea and a bunch of other stores, and the mountains beyond. Beautiful Downtown Burbank, S'nice.

I have a non-opening window. It overlooks housing that I can't afford. My window is freaking huge, it's basically the wall I face.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can see through windows from where I sit, but none of them are mine. They face canyon -- the nice thing about not being too near them is that I can't see the parking lot through them, just wilderness.
