I like daylight savings in the summer. The weather is so nice and it allows dh to enjoy some daylight and go outside when he gets home at 6. Studies have also been done that show that there is increased depression when there is more darkness.

No, that report was flawed. It's that more people are ecstatically happy in the darkness and cold weather! :happy:

And I didn't want to tarnish that post with "meh" news, but this restaurant job has been rough for B. He is still working six days a week, and this week he did an 18 hour day and then a 13 hour day in a row (only getting paid for 8 each day.) And then his first paycheck bounced. Yes, really. That hasn't been resolved yet. On top of that, the owner is pretty much nuts - abusive, firing staff left and right (almost daily) and then expecting the salaried workers to make up for it. (I am old and I will not feel bad about yelling at an employee if they did something completely out of bounds - it's a no snowflake zone, but this guy is seriously abusive. It's taking a toll.)

On a hopeful note, a large venue in the area just fired a certain manager. That job is right in B's wheelhouse, and several people who work there contacted him about it right away. He's already sent a resume. We'll see.

His pay check bounced?! That's a very bad sign. :( You are right, though, for him to hang in there while interviewing for that other position you mentioned. I know for a fact that it's easier to get a new job, when the hiring people know that you are presently employed. (It plants some odd seed in their brain that you must not be too psycho, if someone has you working for them.) :p

Sending {{HUGS}}, pixie dust and a frying pan. I'm also keeping my fingers crossed he gets a better job soon
