Well, I live in central Indiana and keeping track of time isn't nearly so tough as that article makes it out to be. I've lived elsewhere and had to change my time and it wasn't any easier then. That article simply describes the counties which have decided to partially synch their times with other states to make things "easier". Obviously - as you can read in the article - it's working gloriously.
In my job, I deal with people around the country on a daily basis. Handling time has never, ever been a huge issue for me. I simply deal with people based on their time zone. If someone calls me from California to schedule a meeting, I schedule it based on California time. It seems I was born with the amazing super-power that lets me add and subtract a few hours here and there and remember "Oh yeah, the time changed." twice a year without collapsing and frothing at the mouth. It's a bird, it's a plane.
But not even I am perfect. Sometimes I forget which time zone someone is in, or whether or not they change. When in doubt I just go to
http://www.time.gov/ and click on the location in question. Presto, chango. Honestly, I'd probably use it just as much or as little if we were on Daylight Saving Time.
I hear a lot of rhetoric on this issue, but don't see the big deal either way, really. If I have to remember to adjust all my bloody clocks, I'll remember to adjust all my bloody clocks. If I have to remember to adjust for everyone else, I'll adjust for everyone else. I tend to lean against it, because I always hated having to get used to getting up an hour earlier once a year.
My question for you folks who observe daylight saving time, do you ever have something you want to do early in the morning on the first Sunday of April or the last Sunday of October? If you wanted to watch a show that comes on at 2:00am on April 3rd, 2005, what time did you turn on the TV? If you live in Dallas Texas and have to call Seoul at 3:30pm on October 30th, 2005 their time to discuss an urgent contract, are you going to call them at 1:30am or 1:30am? Are you sure?
Or are you boring people all already in bed then? (Shame on you, you should be switching your clocks!)
