Daylight Savings Time starts this weekend, setting your clocks forward an hour and losing sleep.

Ignorable in Arizona and Hawaii unless you deal with people in other states.

For our foreign friends and comrades, I'm not sure how it works.

Don't forget that city of weirdos in Indiana.

I hate DST with a passion.

The best thing about my time living in Arizona was not having to worry about this horse ****.

One of my brothers used to live in Terre Haute, and half the year he was in the other brothers time zone, and the other half in mine. It got confusing.

I went to college in Terre Haute, while living in Connecticut. So I got a time change when I went to school/came home for the summer, and I also got a time change when I went to relatives in Chicago for Christmas/winter break.

Thanks for the heads-up. We don't make the switch but almost our entire client-base does and it catches me off guard.

Great, now my weekly meeting with IBM will be right smack dab during lunch. I hate DST, I'm glad I don't have to deal with it, other than in my interactions with people outside the state.
