What's worse in living in a sate that is split between time zones (Indiana is, and I think Kentucky--at least Kentucky was when I was teaching at Western Kentucky University). In Indiana, the northwest (Chicago) corner is on central time and the rest of the state is on eastern. If you work for an institution (like Indiana University) that is mostly in eastern time, well, you're screwed when people announce system-wide meeting times. Or when they design a course management system that automatically codes times as eastern. (Yet another reason, albeit minor, I'm glad I'm retired.)

It doesn't matter which time they choose, but leave it alone fer heaven's sake.
Amen to that.

That kind of thing just makes things worse, but I don't see any chance sticking to one time all year.
