News Streetalk: Do you miss daylight saving time?

Emily: Yes. I grew up in Arizona where we don't change [the clocks], so I'm very depressed. I like the sun. I need the sun to function. I'm relatively a happy person, but without sunshine I get really, really bitchy. The smallest problems become a big deal. I think I have a vitamin D deficiency. There is seasonal depressive disorder, so I should take vitamin D supplements. I need them because the smallest problems become a catastrophe. I've grown up with the sun. You get vitamin D from the sun. I don't understand the reason for it. I just get stressed.
Kevin: No. It's perfect, because I never change the time in my car so it will finally be right. I don't know how to change it, so I just leave it as it is. So I'm looking forward to it being right. My friends don't complain when they get in my car. It doesn't bother me because I work in a place that has no windows so I never see the light anyway. I work at a data center. Zero windows. I get there like at five in the morning before the sun gets up and get home at eight when it's already dark.
Saint: No. It means I get to see less of you people. When it's daytime, you're everywhere. When it's dark I can barely see you — thank god for that. Plus, it means less of you are on the street, and then I can do my dubious devious actions. I have my artwork all over the streets. I can post up everywhere. And then when you wake up in the morning you get to see my masterpiece of sorts. It's like you wake up to a gallery that I illegally put up through my artwork — not with spray paint but with paper.
