1. And you're having a problem
with time zones because?

It used to be much worse, with individual countries and states not agreeing on times.

2. I'm having a problem with them
because I just made an ass out of myself in a different thread. I assumed it was 6:45 everywhere, because I am dumb. This one- very tounge in cheek.

5. Try living in Indiana
where untill this year every county decided whether to follow daylight savings time or not.

I'd drive the next co. over and it would be an hour later...

11. Not from there and don't live there anymore :)
Was there for school.

Each county was able to decide to observe daylight savings or not.

They changed it last year I think (finally).

6. Time zones are great. I sleep 3 hours later each day than the East Coast.
Edited on Wed Aug-17-05 06:09 PM by Journeyman
What's so bad about that?

On edit: I guess I can see the problem, especially if you're on the East Coast and have to get up three hours early each day.

7. Liberal Massachusetts is trying to force their time zone on the nation
Eastern time? Too liberal for the heartland. Call Congress and tell them "We don't want Massachusetts time."

10. standard work shifts are stupid, too.

Everything being open at the same time and closed at the same time is stupid.
