OT - Pet Peeves Thread

[Riffraft]

So... Coworker sent out an email (multiple people, including one of our distributors) asking if I was available on Monday 7/20 at 11:30 AM PST for disty sales training..

I didn't poke a sharp stick in their eye. I just replied... "I'm good for Monday 11:30 AM PDT."

The distributor didn't pick up on this and said "Great, we're confirmed for Monday 11:30 AM PST!"

For some of us is makes a difference.  I am on MST all year never on MDT

Yes, which is why it's important for someone to get it right. 

If someone in Colorado is arranging a phone call with you in Arizona, and they mistakenly use MST while they're on MDT in their planning because they don't know the difference, that phone call will occur an hour off expectation for at least one of you...

As if anyone in Colorado is going to call someone in Arizona.

First day of work at school on the Navajo Rez.
No problem, I'd worked in Phoenix the year before, no time changing.  No big deal.
Get up, going in 45 min early, bright-eye and bushy-tailed.
15 minutes late.
Fuck.

Through all the process of interviewing, getting hired, signing everything, getting housing, etc.....not one word about the reservation having daylight savings time.
And then, years later, I learn the Hopi reservation, which is entirely inside of the Navajo rez....does not have it!
Madness, I tell you.

And so with all of that, for half the year, it doesn't even matter!
