Thread: Daylight Saving Time

You're right, it is a choice but the people who make these decisions are not out there getting there hands dirty with no touch of reality. I've said this once and say it again, it will happen weather I like it or not

By the way, not all of us have the luxury of choice in our professions. I was lucky enough to be given my opputunity and it's not my dream job but it pays well (could be better). I'm not whinging that we work in crap conditions just voicing my concerns that DST would affect my abilities to get my work done that's all. Comment like that are down right snobbish and arrogant

Hmm I voted for daylight savings, does that meant I have no touch with reality or likely the other thousands of people who have also voted for daylight savings.

Also though off topic, if you have 2 legs, 2 arms and a brain and you live in a country like Australia, you have a smorgasboard of options when it comes to professions. It is absolutley a choice as to what you do for a living.........and if you don't like it and continue to.........that is a choice as well. Not saying you, but in over 20yrs either working for "the man" or myself, I have come across people who complain about what they do. My response is either shut the **** up and get on with it, or find something you really want to do...it is all choice.

As for the bolded part I hope you weren't aiming that at me....bit hard to tell

Yes I know that, but by lunchtime on some days it's gets pretty hard to keep going past 2PM. With DLS time, we technically loose an hour in the morning that we can put to a more productive means that's all.

Didn't mean to turn this into a ****ing contest, get out there and come work with me for a day in the height of summer, you'll soon change your mind

I don't get into ****ing contests with mates, so all good. Moreso you presented one side of an argument and I have come from a different perspective. Either/ or is not a real biggy for me, am used to it, though definately affects some from both sides of the fence.

Also I know what it is like to work in the height of summer, try sitting in a home office, no aircon with sun streaming right into your face, so I kinda know what you are on about from that point,

I enjoy what I do actually, it's interetsing, challenging, good workout (who needs the gym ) and you can tell people to get stuffed and not get the sack for it. It also sorts out the bludgers from the hard workers too.

Ity just seems that the opinions of people in the construction industry get thrown aside and that the 'white collar' throng are considerd more important. That was really the aim of the snobbery remark and not intentionally directed at you

I used to be a baker (trade qualified) and that's why I left the trade, had a guful of the night shift and weekends, along with public holidays and so forth. Plus getting screwed on the pay wasn't ideal and putting up with stoners and some of the most unsavoury people that I've ever come across is enough to make a career change. Plus I'm used to working in heat nearly all year round in a bakery it gets up to 50 degrees and that was at around 3AM in Jan so I was well hardened in that area when I started plastering.

At the end of the day and after all the arguing, I don't want it and that's all there is to it. I'm a minority but I like being different

Have a good one.

It is Choice...Self employed, no boss, timecard or aircon if we all worked in aircon offices there would be no where to live..with everyone choosing to stay cool and clean,who would be boohooing then..
He was not being arrogant Trav fingers musta slipped on the keyboard after the manicure
We need Professionals in society as much as tradesmen..makes for a good show at BBQ's when beer n the two come together though
