When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Good luck on the job, flea!

I went to bed a little early last night, but the end of DST made it not-so-hard to get up at 5:30 so I could go to the gym. So now I am exercised, with pleasantly sore arms from lifting weights, and showered and fed.

The down side will be leaving the office in almost full darkness, boo. Still, I like getting some light in the mornings, although it'll still be too dark to run at 6 AM until February or March. Sigh.

I love DST. It's not-DST that kills me. I'm only partially conscious in the morning, and I'm fine with being partially conscious in the dark. One year during the energy crisis we got double DST, which was lovely. It doesn't actually save much energy, though.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

In the isopod spirit, I give you the giant isopod: [link] These things range worldwide over the deep sea floor.

Last week it was still basically dark in Cincinnati at 8am, so I am very glad of the time change. I note that which edge of the time zone you live on, and whether you are a morning or an evening person, makes a huge difference in your opinion of this phenomenon. As I am a morning person, full dark until 8am is very hard for me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't have any use for the morning! I don't think it matters if I'm a morning person or not. Five days a week, it's spent getting ready for work, driving to work, being at work. I'm increasingly greedy of what light I can grab after the end of the work day, since it's elastic unlike the start.

Yes! So much this. In the winter, I just feel like the day is over when I get home and it's dark. And cold. I just have to hunker down until it's over.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I am a night person, but I find it much easier to get out of bed if there is some light

I do not like the giant isopod. Or things with multiple jaws.

Here is the cutest monkey babeh ever: [link]

I am with ita- I can go to work in the dark. I would prefer not to come home from work in the dark.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I cried.
