Friday, I received this email at work:
We just wanted to send out an email to have everyone check
there[sic] calendar in Outlook on Monday morning (March 12) to make sure
your times have adjusted accordingly.

We have done everything possible to patch your PC's to prepare us for
the DST change but we want to make sure everyone's calendars move with
the DST change.

If you do notice your time is wrong next week please run the
applications below with the defaults.

So I log in this morning, I look at the system time, it looks perfect.
All my sent and received email has sensical timestamps. I figure the
update worked.

I'm working away, when I get a reminder notice to go to yoga class. A
couple minutes later, I get my yoga mat and clothes out and go
downstairs to the room. It's locked, dark, and empty. No one's workout
bag is sitting in the restroom where everyone changes.

I look at my cellphone clock: it's 12:40. Class is at 11:40 on Mondays.

I come back upstairs, and look at my Outlook calendar. All the recurring
appointments that were created--and started--prior to the time change
have been shifted one hour later without notice.

So I ran the application from the email, and it put them all back. But
I've missed yoga today, and I blame Microsoft.
