Daylight Saving

I trust that if you’re in one of the parts of Australia which observes daylight saving, then you, like me, stayed up until 2am to excitedly wind the clocks forward to 3am. (Actually I have a computer system running some radio automation which needs a little bit of attention at daylight saving switchover. The playout is fine it’s all of the scheduled recordings and scheduled tasks which keep things working behind the scenes which need a bit of fixing)

Or perhaps you’re a bit like my good friend the confused cow who has absolutely no idea what time it is.
The Confused Cow of daylight saving

I first met this nice cow when I was preparing a weekend informational document at work in 2015. The cow was very confused and agreed to be photographed and appear in this informational document if only I would help figure out the time.

Once that was done, we pondered a question for which I still don’t have a good answer: if it’s daylight saving, why is it that we put away an hour of darkness and release it in April the following year? And we don’t even get any interest on it. Seems like a ripoff to me.
