Just smart enough to be utterly stupid

Despite applying the patch last year my PDA fell back to PST this weekend. Except it also moved all of my calendar entries back an hour as well, so I'm still getting reminder alarms at the correct PDT time. I really hope this corrects itself in a week, or else I'm going to have a lot of updating to do.

Oh! That would be why my alarm went off an hour early this morning. (Nothing was *obviously* wrong, and the alarm still said it was set for the right time...)

I think I'm just going to refuse to set my alarm until this is all over.

I know what you mean... I can't believe we didn't have another Y2K scare over this honestly... Half of the time-telling devices in my office have changed and the other half are still normal... I keep dating my projects wrong because of it.

This is why I use Zulu time for anything important. :)

DST is crap, and should be abolished.

The lights at work (which cannot be manually overridden by anyone in our building) now turn on an hour after my co-workers come in. Ah, the joys of DST.

Agreed.

I was driving downtown (on my way to a really really good interview) at 7 AM today & the Washington Trust Bank sign said 6 AM. You'd think the BANK would have gotten it straight by Wednesday!
