The only thing I hate about Winter is not Winter’s fault, and it’s basically what you said:
Work is somehow perfectly scheduled so that you’re inside, staring at a brick wall for 90-100% of the daylight hours for 5 out of every 7 days.
Winter is beautiful in ways that are completely unlike the other seasons, but unless you’re very fortunate you only get a few glimpses of it.
I feel like if you were designing a society to make people suffer, that’s how you would do it.
It's a rudiment of a society where artificial light was a scarcity, so people worked during the daylight.
But also these days you can easily get a job with a flexible schedule and spend your mornings enjoying the sun, and then work till the late evening.
And because most people have to drive in winter, if you live in a snowy place in north America, winter means slick roads, and snow shoveling.
