leaving work in the dark

I hate this time of year. I didn't get to see daylight at all yesterday so I didn't notice when it was gone, but today was the first day I've left work at 5:45ish and it was completely dark. Am not sure why we bother with Daylight Savings time, you're just prolonging the inevitable anyway. Give it a few more weeks and we'll be both going to work in the morning and coming home in the evening in the pitch black! :-(
