Daylight Savings Time--Hip Hip Hooray

Not everyone likes or wants daylight savings time. I personally can't wait. I really don't like that it's dark when you're driving home from work. I don't think I have the "sunshine" malady that some people have in the winter, but I surely do NOT like feeling like it's time for bed at 7:00 pm. Yes, our IT staff at work has worked double-time on this one. I had my favorite little IT man Jed explain the whole thing to me at length on Thursday and it's a bigger deal than I thought it was for most businesses. Who knew? I thought, change the time, change it again when it "traditionally" goes into effect. What's the big deal? Apparently, it's a HUGE deal when 24 hours isn't measured in hours but dates. That's what Jed explained. (Secretly, I was mainly interested only on how it would affect me at home, because I KNEW our guys would take care of the work stuff. It's no big deal for home users, only an inconvenience.)
