The Newfoundland half-hour
I'd a Newfie colleague in my truck this morning who was a bit confused by the time change this morning, I think he over compensated and got up at 2am or something. Easy done, I will admit to having done something similar in the past... that or lain awake all night looking at the clock on my phone wondering if it will change by itself or not.
Anyway, it led to discussions about time, and The Newfie Half Hour... I think it would drive me nuts. Why don't you don't you just round it up or down and work to the hour like everyone else?
