Are you saying the calendar was set the "DT" (daylight savings time) and not "ST" (standard time) so when it actually flipped the calendar adjusted 1 hour in the wrong direction? heh, yeah that would be very frustrating, glad it wasn't like a final exam (for students) or an oral presentation in front of a client (for consultants/professionals).
edit: not trivializing missing the talk, i would be pissed.
- josephg 2y agoYeah thats right. I was definitely pissed.
- skissane 2y agoDST is in opposite halves of the year in different hemispheres, and also the transition dates will be different in different DST-using countries even in the same hemisphere. So the timezone difference between US and Australia (or at least their DST using parts, since in both countries some states don’t observe DST) is 2 hours more in one half of the year than the other. And it changes four times. In January, Australia has DST and US doesn’t. Then in March US starts DST and moves one hour away. In April, Australia ends DST and moves another hour away (in the opposite direction). In October, Australia starts DST and moves an hour closer to US. In November, US ends DST and moves another hour closer to Australia.
