Yep, for those states that go into daylight savings time, you use EDT, CDT, etc. until the time changes back to standard, then it is EST, CST, and so on.

(Off topic) I used to work with a gal for whom part of her responsibility was to set telephone appointments with existing clients in various states throughout the US. She NEVER could figure out the time zones and then when you threw in whether it was Daylight or Standard, she just about went nuts. It was frustrating to hear her trying to set a time with the clients.... (Sometimes I helped her.)

Sounds like she’d be better suited in the mail room...

It can get confusing, especially if you have business in Arizona, which doesn't observe Daylight Saving Time. Also, in Arizona, certain tribes observe it while others don't. You could potentially have to repeatedly set your clock forwards and backwards as you conduct business in Arizona.

Throw in Central European Time (CET) and Central European Summer Time (CEST), Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and British Summer Time (BST) and it can get more confusing.

Anyone remember when Swatch tried to divide the day into 1000 "beats" called "Internet Time?"

Could she tell time with an analog clock?
