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?"

Swatch Internet Time

You could do as the airlines do and just use Zulu. :-)

Just experienced Tennessee’s being in both Central and Eastern time zones. Thankfully, cell phones are changed automatically. I have to sympathize with people who work in one zone and live in another ....I don’t think I could do it;)

IN used to be like AZ, but then we had to go on DST. It sucks. We’re closer to central time.

Pick a damn time and stick with it year round or, We chould just use Zulu time worldwide.
