I used to look forward to Daylight Saving Time. I always hated the short days and early sunset times. But, this time around, it didn't seem like a big deal. I've been working from home for a year now, and my schedule has been pretty flexible, so the time that I leave the "office" (as in, sign off for the day) is pretty flexible these days. In the past, the big draw from going to DST was having more hours of daylight after work. But now that the hard cutoff, of getting out of the office has been removed, it doesn't seem like such a big deal anymore.
I still enjoy the Spring/Summer/early Fall times more than the Winter, because of the longer days in general and being outdoors more, but that has more to do with total amount of daylight, not because they shift Sunrise and Sunset by an hour. I'm almost always up before Sunrise, anyway, so I'm awake (usually) during the whole time the Sun is up. So I wonder if, once I fully retire and work is out of the picture completely, if the whole concept of Spring Forward/Fall Back will lose its magic completely for me?
I guess I liken it somewhat to that euphoric feeling I'll sometimes get on Friday afternoon when I'd get off, leaving the workplace behind and looking forward to the weekend. Once work is out of the picture, and the whole concept of workweek/weekend becomes a bit obsolete, it's one of those things that will probably go away after awhile, too.
