A solution for crappy dark mornings and evenings in winter.

You know what?

I am achingly sick and tired of the miserable, lethargy inducing dark mornings and evenings we have to suffer in this Gordamn northerly subarctic hellhole.

I suggest a new proper alteration of the clocks in winter in order to keep things as light as possible in the morning and evening when it is mid winter.

Look at the current situation:

12 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 00

In the freaking winter thats how fuckin long it is dark for.

Now look at my solution:

12 1 1.5 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 22.5 23 00

So at 2:00AM it will become "1.5AM" and each hour will only be counted as half an hour numerically. When we finally get to the new 6:00AM, it will already be getting light, then when we get to 10:00AM, the next hour will suddenly skip to 14:00, and that will also mean we will only be at work for 5 hours, if you are doing the typical 9 - 5 type shit!!!

How awesome! And you will be going home in complete daylight.

Some stupid critics will probably say that the economy will suffer and such baloney, because people will be at work far less, but that's nonsense, people will be happier with this arrangement; happier people are (more) productive people, and they will actually be doing more work per hour, so then you see just as much is getting done! How cool is that.

As you would also notice, there are now two hours between 22:00 and 23:00, which means that my favourite radio program goes on for four beautiful hours!
