Beginning this post, I’m also updating my version of Windows. And, since I can’t do much else while this occurs, I decided to write.
Daylight savings …Update 1 of 112…time officially began on Sunday at 2:00 a.m., taking an hour away from everyone that pays attention to that silly rule and reserving it only to give it back in November (I wish I lived in the opposite ends of the alphabet).
I noticed the hour disappear because that was the hour in which:
a) George Bush passed a bill to help the lower-middle class.
b) The Hills got canceled.
c) Al Davis applied and was accepted to guard the Holy Grail.*
d) Bill Cowher shaved his moustache.
e) Britney found a positive role model.
F) Nothing.
How amazing would those sixty minutes have been if a, b and e actually happened? (The rest were simply for the sake of humor.)
So…instead of F) happening, Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition decided to shiFt all over my schedule, making the first half of this week as difficult and confusing as possible. Not only have I changed my Outlook calendar’s timezone …Update 94 of 112… a total of six times in the past three days, but now my HTC Mogul, running another wonderful piece of software: Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 [un]Professional, shows all of my calendar items as occurring an hour later than they should.
How in the (Nothing.) can the simplest program running on my computer can cause such a headache?
The only good thing that can come of this …Update 106 of 112… is that I will appear to arrive at all of my appointments about an hour early, instead of three to five minutes late.
I’m going to sit and do F) while …Update 106 of 112… finishes and I wait for my next appointment that I set a reminder for, (two hours in advance).
