I'm down in WA State now so it's extra weird for me.

From Calgary and now you're telling me the friends I play Pathfinder with online are two hours offset instead of one hour!? We now start at 8pm Alberta Time (is it called New Mountain Time or something?) and it's 6pm in WA.

My parents are retired in Kelowna and suddenly I have to think about the hour offset when calling.

    There are apps that can make life easier for ya if you choose that route.

    Most phones let you set multiple time zones and clocks as favourites or widgets.

    Maybe you might wanna get a basic casio with world time or a smart watch?

    It's so pointless and dumb changing clocks twice a year. States will abandon it as well in coming years.

    I mean I don't have any problems adjusting to it, time wise. Just schedule-wise.

    It's just weird to be 2 hours off of Alberta.

    I'm just getting off work at 6pm, and most of my friends in Alberta have young children and are up super early so we call it a night at 9:30pm Alberta time so they can get to bed and be asleep. They can't stay up an hour later for us to start later so it's up to me to leave work a bit early now. (mind you I got let go so no job at the moment, so not a huge issue).
