It makes people show up late for work earlier in the year, and show up early later in the year.

Oh, and apparently farmers benefit b/c of how long shop are open or something... I don't think Arizona uses it though, or at least not the majority of the state, so there's hope for the rest of us.

Yeah, i used to always screw up the day of the change, show up an hour late/early.

So i started using my cell phone for an alarm clock.
