It's currently winter north of the equator, and summer south of it. March marks the beginning of spring north of the equator, and the beginning of autumn south of it.

I love daylight savings time. It's my favourite time of the year. The
days go by faster that way. :-)
Ugh. I have never gotten used to the spring daylight savings change...Losing an hour of sleep, on a frickin' Monday of all days, is *not* cool! (>_<)
Even the autumn one screws me up. Takes like a week before I'm not tired at 9 PM...

Ummmm, no.
The shift to/from DST *ALWAYS* takes place at 2:00AM on a Sunday, which is normally considered Saturday night by most folks. So, nothing to do with
a Monday.

Yes, but I think many people take a copule days to get used to the time change.
When Monday comes around, I'm still not quite used to the lost hour yet.
The day in which DST takes place is as arbitrary as DST itself. In
Canada, the change day is more dependent on the actual calendar day, and less so on the day of the week, though it is generally kept to the weekend. And I know for fact that it has happened on 'Sunday night' in
the recent past.
Worst. Monday. Ever.
Another system that seem to give us issues are the door entry system (sometimes
it updates itself, others it doesn't). If I see several employees standing outside looking frustrated in the morning (or the door propped open) I know that system didn't update itself.
I work in IT and the Monday after a time change is always interesting. Most things change themselves now-a-days (that wasn't always the case) but there are certain pieces of technology that aren't updated/supported anymore.

Dude I have these *exact same* problems with a client of mine downtown.
Telephone system is antiquated shit, but it works, owner can't/won't upgrade,
and the security system is completely oblivious to daylight-time changes. ALWAYS needs babysitting and adjustment, even suffers from "clock drift".
Daylight Savings Time is the tool of the devil (Devil Satan's Time). It makes silly people think that they can control time.
Why do you want your days to go by faster (even thought it does not cause that at all)? If Spring and Summer are what you look forward to, why do
you want them to go by faster?

Even better, there should be no time changes. Problem solved.

I would have responded to this directly, but that twit got
filtered a while ago. He's just so desperate for my attention
that he hasn't realized it yet.

Yep, if one's agrarian lifestyle requires one to get up an hour earlier
or an hour later at certain times of the year, then one should just get
up one hour earlier or one hour later. There's no point in making the
rest of us miserable.
Amen brother... I'm with you... I've lived without changing the clocks and it's just how it ought to be... time just naturally ebbs and flows throughout the year... it's waaaaaay better! No jolt to the system twice a year...

The last time I checked cows and chickens don't know how to tell time.
It had more to do with companies like Ford that built assembly plants to take advantage of natural lighting. More natural light = less
artificial light = more cost savings. So they wanted the clocks to coinside with the daylight.
Not related to your message, but your reply seems oddly formatted and somewhat difficult to read. Leaving a blank line between the quoted line and your reply (and vice versa) would make your messages a bit easier to read (effective use of empty space). There are no blank lines at all, so it all looks crunched together.

The agrarian lifestyle nowadays is more modern. They just attatch lights to harvesters and work at night past 4 am if they are pushed against the schedule anyway. It is not like availability of light is as determinant
as it used to be.

I might be interested if the time change started Monday morning at 8am
and fast forwarded to Friday at 5pm. :)

I prefer it. If we get rid of daylight savings time here in Australia,
we should just declare Daylight Savings time as permanent. It doesn't need to get dark by 6PM in Melbourne during winter.
As an early riser, I prefer DST, but even with DST, December is a pretty rough month for getting sleep, because the sunrise is so early. I'm
glad it doesn't rise at 5ADM.
Interestingly, I don't have this issue in Queensland, where the sun
rises much earlier, because they tend not to keep as late hours in the evenings.
I am a night owl. Without daylight savings, the sun would
be getting up to early for me some nights! There would be
nights where the sun would go up before I get to sleep.
Once the tiniest bit of dawn starts to appear, going to
sleep becomes very difficult.

That's odd. Here, DST shifts the time so that the Sun comes up *later* than it normally would in Standard Time, and go down later. The people here who like it are the ones that are *not* early risers. :)
