Scheduled calls are never miscalculated, no DST, no AM/PM mixups.

I hate timezones, and I especially hate switching times ie: DST. Having to work across timezones I have made these mistakes which were not only inconvenient, but screwed up my schedule for the rest of the day: Prepared for a call 6 hours early (oops I was supposed to add 3 hours, not subtract), missed a call (oops I was supposed to subtract 3 hours, not add), given a schedule that was 8AM, 8AM, 8AM, 8PM, 8AM, showed up 12 hours early for the 4th appointment.

Finally, I don't know if you realize this, but DST time is correlated with higher heart attack rates, increased traffic accidents, and a slew of other bad things.
