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.
Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Hm. In December in Massachusetts, the sun rises at about, what, 7:30 and sets at 4:15. Those are guesses. In March, pre-DST, sunrise at 6:30 or so, and sunset at 5:45. With DST earlier in March or even in February, daylight would continue after the end of the work day. But:
(1) more dark mornings. I bet there's research that dark mornings make for droopy office workers. (To say nothing of non-office workers, like construction, farm, and all manner of engineering types, who typically work 7-3 rather than 9-5.)
(2) My office, for one, has the lights on all the time. What company has a building with enough windows not to need lights in most if not all offices?? Companies that don't need to save bucks on the energy bill.
I, who wake up at dawn, would have huge trouble getting into the office at 9 if the sun didn't rise till 8. (I'm consistently late around winter solstice.) Whereas, by June it wouldn't matter, except inasmuch as I'd be a raging insomniac at 4am instead of at 5am. And who wants that??

I have a window near the ceiling. I can see sky and trees. But usually I keep the blinds closed, as it's to the south and if the sun is out it will be shining on my monitors at some point during the day.
