no more savings

Dear Old Fucks,

Thanks for ruining summer for those of us who like to do more with our lives than get up at the butt crack of dawn and go for walks.

I can't believe the No Vote won! and it has won for the past 4 decades! what's going on Perth?

New Year Eve barbecue/party will never be the same.

i'm starting to realise that it's not just WA - i think if there was a referendum in any of the eastern states the majority would vote no as well. it's just that our government decided to put it to the people. when will they learn that they've just gotta tell people what's good for them?

Sorry man I voted no.
Too much sun/heat in summer leaves Karen a sad-sac-of-sweat-mung-karen, to which night-time blackness is my only relief. Anyway I didn't expect that after three consequentive referendums resulting in a No-vote, the majority would suddenly change their minds.

but you'll be feeling the heat regardless of whether you experience it at 5pm or 6pm...

you're right though - i don't know why i got my hopes up - i guess i just thought that after three years people would finally come around to the idea.

What time is the average daily temperature peak in summer? 2? 3? 4pm?

I finish work and leave the air-conditioned office at around 5:30pm each day. In daylight savings, 5:30pm is nearer to the peak temperature of the day. Without daylight savings, there's been an extra hour for some of the heat of the day to dissipate. Hot, sure, but not as hot.

i guess i just feel as though it's a shame to lose time where you can potentially do things that you need sunlight for - go for a walk or socialise outside with friends for example. i try to pack as much into my day as i can, so it disappoints me that i won't get those daylight hours to do with as i please.

but michelle had a good idea - working from 8am-4pm in summer to make the most of the daylight hours regardless of everyone else's schedule. i like the idea but i don't know if i'll be able to stick to getting up extra early...
