DST Madness

Just in case you didn't know daylight savings time is three weeks earlier and one week later this year. Mike has been going crazy at work trying to accommodate this change. Many of our largest customers are freaking out trying to keep their appointments correct. It's like Y2K in the tech industry all over again!

Complementary advise from your friendly Retrosurfer. :))
