John,

"Stupid is as stupid does" is all I can say.  The type of people you allude to 
will always exist, sadly....

Regards,

Mitch

Subject: Another reason to hate the time change


We produce reports on our z/OS CPU utilization. They are reported in local
ime, with "a.m." and "p.m.". Because apparently only military (and pilots)
nderstand Zulu time. So, twice a year, I must explain why we never seem to
ave any activity on Sunday from 02:00 to 03:00 in the spring, and how we
anage to run so much work on one Sunday from 02:00 to 03:00 in the fall.
he reason, of course, is the stupid time change. 02:00 to 03:00 does not
xist on "Spring Forward" Sunday, and from 02:00 to 03:00 is a two hour
eriod on "Fall Backwards" Sunday. And every year, I hear the "WTF???" on
onday morning. <sigh/>
