Daylight Savings Time

Daylight Savings Time

“In this company, we work daylight savings time in the rainy season.”

Morgan Uffman stared at his new boss in amazement. “In the tropics? But there’s no need. The sun comes up the same time all year round.”

“Yes, and in the rainy season it rains twice a day,” replied the boss. Watching Morgan’s reaction, he continued. “1:00pm and 5:00pm, as regular as clockwork.”

“I still…” began Morgan, but the boss interrupted. “1:00pm is lunchtime and we go home at 5:00pm. We got tired of getting wet. We work daylight savings time in the rainy season.”
