Feeling old today. I had to go into the Control Panel on my work laptop today and increase the magnification on the Display from Medium (125%) to Large (150%) because it's been getting harder and harder to read the smaller font size on the screen. Bah. I did the same thing last May ... so you are not alone here.

I too have done that.
Once you hit 40 that's what happens.

I have a giant one in my office, but I work from home two days a week and just use the screen on the computer, because I am too lazy and cheap to buy one for my house.

Forty years ago today, November 13, 1978, was my first day at my first "real" job after college. I was a Systems Service Representative at Information Science Inc, in Montvale NJ, supporting their HR applications on an IBM 360 mainframe with punch-card input, at a salary of $11,000 a year. A lot has changed since then, but 40 years later I'm still doing software support.

So I just had a client give me the "they weren't my pants I was wearing and I didn't know what was in the pockets" excuse.
That one never gets old.

Because of daylight savings time, I have been working in the dark in the street since the change. My job's hours are from 8-430 but I usually am still working past that time.
I hate this time of year.

I hate this time of year. So do I, in terms of Daylight Savings Time and I mean that literally and it's a farce and does us nothing good except Spring Forward and Fall Back routine. I think it is time to get rid of it FOREVER.

I hate Fall Back because, okay, I get it, summer is waning, so the days start to get gradually shorter. Fine, I get it, but then one day its like someone flicked a switch and now its DARK ALL THE TIMMMMMMMEEE!!!! I really hate driving home from work in the dark. It makes me feel like the rest of my day is over.

It makes me feel like the rest of my day is over. I understand that and bothers me a lot if you work in states above Oregon and above and all that. There is no easy solutions to this problem and I worked at Boeing and they has to hire me every time there is a SPRING FORWARD and FALL BACK because I have to reset MANUALLY of 15,000+ PC's in one day -- our private network is on Boeing Time -- not everyone else. I just dumbfounded by doing this work and it's no fun for me at all. I just wished that there is a solution to this problem for you and all that and I hear your arguments clear as I can.
