@tweezak I drive to work in the dark all year so I don’t see the issue with that. On the rare occasions where I have to drive home in the dark I hate it because the other drivers seem so much worse.
Continue to just live my life, which continues to not be governed by whether it’s dark an hour earlier or not, because really, why the fuck would that change anything that I would need to do…? Batteries still need to be refrigerated, is what I’m sayin’…
Get ready to stuff my face, twice (three times if you count stealing the kids candy), wearing a jacket, and making promises to myself I will break before daylight returns.
Close to the equator, it doesn’t get dark THAT early. It gets dark around 6 at the equinox. We usually have Christmas dinner outside, too, so I acknowledge we’re odd. I’ve never had a white Christmas, but I’ve never had to worry about SAD, either. So grateful.
Mask my already shitty feeling about life (which gets worse with more dark time) with substances I probably shouldn’t. But to quote my favorite punk rock band NOFX, “If God created plants and buds that I find and abuse then who the fuck are you to judge me?”
Turn on the lights earlier.
Go to bed.

Do everything an hour earlier.
Tend to doze off (in bed, if I make it there).
@phendrick why leave in the first place?
Drive to work in the dark and drive home in the dark.

@tweezak I was just getting ready to say the same. It’s always dark when I go home, but right the sun sets just about the time I leave for work.
@tweezak
Welcome to the dark side.

@shahnm And thank the Energizer gods that refrigerators have light bulbs!
Piss & moan about it until spring makes everything better.
Don’t care. The office has no windows.

@Weboh
Yep. At the equator it’s pretty much the same 12 &12 all year.
Appreciate how pretty the city looks in the darkness.
Say, “Wow, it’s that early still!?” a lot for 3 weeks just like I did last year and the year before that, etc.
Take a flashlight when I go to the mailbox.
