In response to last week’s
imponderable question, “Is there a better time of the week to Spring forward
than Sunday at 2:00am?,” my social media friend Mark
announced, “Friday at 4:00…that last hour of the work-week is so long,” to which
my production management friend Ray explained, “That would make it five o clock
and you would get paid for 8 hours only working seven and get to go home an
hour early.”
My
sister-in-law Lorrie proposed, “Mondays so that you
have one less hour to get through on a Monday morning! In all honesty, in
retirement it hardly matters. If I was still working the earlier would
apply.”
My engineering friend Steve advised,
“Yes, 20 minutes into the future.” But
my business development friend Ray called-out, “Keeping it at 2am does allow
the workers in bars to shut down an hour earlier.”
My temple friend Kevin
explained, “Yes, when we fall back to real time. Daylight Savings Time is
a lie and completely useless. Studies have shown that there really is no
longer any need for it and it should be done away with. In fact, human productivity is worse during
the weeks after these changes than during periods where ‘time’ is static,” to
which my cycling friend Ted declared, “I think we should stay ‘Sprung” all year
round!” And my dad’s beach buddy Bob added
his support, “There is never a good time to spring forward. Takes time
for we old timers to adjust to standard time without having to spring up on our
feet with vertigo.”
My sailing friend Norm replied, “Yes,
a better time would be Saturday night. 😀

Please send me your thoughts about this week's "things that
make you go 'Hmmm' ":
How do you know if
you’re Irish?
Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that
made you smile!

To
the prior week’s question, “What do people who write "u" instead of
"you" do with all the time they save?,” my HIPnation friend Dwana pointed
out, “in my neck of the woods, we say ‘all y’all’”.
Thanks
to Demetri Martin, Steven Wright and George Carlin for the inspiration for
Hmmm. I invite you to call or email me to catch up.
