Definitely one of my biggest sore spots. I'm a creature of habit, and absolutely hate the time changes. In my view it is most stupid thing we do as a world-wide idiocy. It causes missed meetings, endless confusion for people working in multiple countries, or even across a single country like here in the U.S where we have three different timezones, but then certain states that don't follow "the change". All of this effort with time zone apps, having to program changes (which fall on different dates each year). While it may have been a good idea before electricity, and before international commerce, it should have gone away 50 years ago. Are people really that stupid that we can't all just standardize on UTC across the globe, and then learn to go to work at 4 instead of 8, etc. etc.? Or just publish our business hours as "The" time that we open and close, which are then valid across the world without conversions? We had legislation drafted to get rid of it this year, but as usual our politicians can't even get that accomplished, even when there is agreement by virtually everyone.
I'm not a big fan of DST either Kris, I don't see the point considering the data get longer (more daylight) naturally.
We have three timezones here also and the same issues arise. It's even worst considering the eastern seaboard don't all have DST (The State of Queensland do not have it). So, some state change others don't and it's all a fucken mess.
Also, and this pisses me off, it gets longer and longer each year, 2 OCT 22 to 2 April 23. WTF.
Anyway, it is what it is and we have to deal with it as I don't think it's going away.
