Well, today, I thought I was getting a head start on a busy week, which will have me riding in 3 states in 5 days. Got up at 5, in the office by 6.

Around 9 am, I realized the kitchen clocks (stove, microwave, etc) were on 10 and my phone was on 9. I had to go online to be sure, since I have an appt at 11.

Yep, got up at 4, in the office by 5. Good start on the day. Dammit.

I happen to live in one of those counties in Indiana, at the very southern tip. 4 counties here.... I think we observe DST, but we are on CST, when the rest of the state, pretty much is on EST. No idea why. I can understand the county next to Chicago, but here, it's an issue. 99% of my work is in EST, so I try to observe EST and work 7-4 CST (as if I keep a 40-hour week).

It's odd to spend a long day in the field, getting on the road at 6:30 or 7 CST time to be on time for appointments in EST. Then, returning at 7 pm, getting home at 8 or so and it's an hour earlier once I cross that county line.

However, if I'm in the office, and done at 5 EST, it's 4 CST, and I can go ride a bike!
