Does anyone else hate winter time ? (sh.itjust.works)

Great, we could sleep one hour more, but suddenly, it's getting dark at 18.

Great we have one hour more of sun on the morning, but instead of being pitch black when starting to commute to work it's just still dark and by the end of November it'll be pitch black anyway.

I interpreted "I despise getting ready in the dark and getting home in the dark" as you hating both equally. As an adult, I agree I'd rather get up and drive to work in darkness to gain a little daytime after work. But I recall as a child being miserable going to school in darkness.

Kids finish school around 3 pm where I live. They have time to do their extracurricular activities (partially) during daytime even in the dead of winter. So of course it's the mornings they find dreadful. If school finished around 5-6 pm I think they'd be miserable then as well.

Speaking of which, I'm about to end my work day and the sun is setting right now. FML.
