I'm working midnights on Saturday so this is the only time in my life that I look forward to changing the clocks. I get off an hour early!  O0

Well, Dudes, each to their own, but I absolutely love getting home when the sun is up, some time to unwind doing a little light gardening, seeing my house before dark, etc.  I don't mind going to the gym in the dark, but damn, I hate leaving work and arriving home in the dark.  Too depressing.  I LOVE DST.   :@`

It's the change back and forth that is annoying (and it costs quite some money).
Now the DST is effective for almost 8 months in North America, right? So why not be consequent and change the timezones completely?

I have one clock that I need to adjust manually (my car clock).  Other than that, I don't even worry about moving the clock forward or backwards.  I just magically feel more tired when I get up the morning of DST!

Just like Saintc, I enjoy coming home from work when it's daylight!

I love Daylight savings!  I wish they would just leave it on that time.

There was a year or two, during the Regan administration I think, they did it as part of the cut foreign oil thinking.  It was nice--but too many people complained that the kids were going to school in the dark.  I didn't understand, how is it different going to school in the dark w/ year round DST, and coming home in the dark after the usual after school activities in standard time?
I mean, until the railroads needed to have standard times for schedules, each community set it's own in the early 19th century.

Thankfully, out here we don't change our clocks. We get plenty of sunlight all year round.   O0

Oh man, that's why people have been complaining that I'm late to everything!   :o

This year it caught me by surprise.  But I'm sure glad to be able to do more stuff later in the day with more night sun.
