At 4:50 PM, Monday (yesterday), I went to talk to my supervisor in his office. He also has a window. And the sun was still up.
You might take the sun for granted, especially if you're still in school, unemployed, or have the luxury of a window wherever you work. Not me. My cubicle has walls on 3 sides each 5 feet tall. Time comes here to die. Even my windows toolbar clock hasn't adjusted yet for daylight savings. (I can't change it by the way, it keeps changing back to its own time until the network administrator changes it.) From October til now, the sun has been setting about an hour before I get off of work, so by the time I get into my car it's pitch black. I hate darkness, sunsets, clouds, and shade. I love summers, July, 95 degree days, and nightlights. My mood is greatly affected by the sun, and the amount of sunlight I get. If you've talked to me in the last 6 months, you know what I'm talking about, I've been a miserable wreck.

Yesterday was the first time since October when there was still sunlight when I get off of work. Hallelujah.
