I realized (as I was commuting) this morning, that some people must live near timezone borders.

How does that work for you? Do you think in work time at home? Home time at work?

It must be easier these days with smartphones and smart watches automatically adjusting time according to you location?

Share your experience please, I’m curious!

    I live in Pacific but work remotely in Mountain. I’ve just adjusted to working 8 - 4 and subtracting an hour in my head anytime someone mentions a time.

    It’s starting to look more likely that Wa, Or, and Ca are going to stop observing DST. Then I’ll be 2 hours different from March to November. That seems like it will be harder.

      I wish we would. Each state would need a federal exception to stay in DST. I know Washington and Oregon passed legislation saying we will switch if CA does but that all still would require federal exceptions. I think there are a good dozen or so states that want to stick with DST but none have gotten the go ahead. We could stay with PST with no issue though.

      Feel lucky that you only have to deal with one other timezone. Doing support for companies that work around the globe makes scheduling a pain in the ass. I don’t think I have started work after 7:30 for almost a decade. Half of that would include a commute.
