March 22, 2007 - Did Daylight Saving Time Spring Any Surprises On You?

Posted in QA

So how did companies fare over the switch to the new Daylight Saving Time?

 

 

 

 

In my company, some of our meetings scheduled in Outlook got messed up a bit, but seemingly nothing else of consequence happened.

 

And there seem to be very few reports of any serious problems from around the country.  Seemingly anything that did happen was very minor:

 

A few overcharges at a Richmond International Airport parking garage may have occurred.

Outlook Meetings were registered for the wrong times, and security systems denied entry for an extra hour in Spokane:

The clocks inside some Columbus area buses were running an hour fast for a while:

The phone number folks in Milwaukee could call for the exact time was off by one hour:

There were reports of a few flight delays at some airports:
