Daylight Savings Time is Stupid

Mar 12, 2007

I’ve never understood daylight savings time.  My run this morning was borked as a result of my lack of comprehension of how it works, my 7am conference call with someone in Europe didn’t happen because I’m sure he (rationally) thought it was an hour later and – while most of my computers are set to the correct time because of the incredibly diligent efforts of Ross-the-IT-guy – my Cisco IP phone at home still says DST+1 (I’m sure the one in the office is set to DST.)  I can’t even begin to imagine the amount of GDP that was just wasted preparing for this and the lost GDP that will occur today due to missed / rescheduled meetings.  It sounds like Yahoo Mail also had a tough weekend – maybe they can blame it on daylight savings time.
