I got up late this morning. It was 8:30. The first thing I did was to called the showing scheduling service (CSS) because I need to schedule two additional showings for some buyers I am meeting with at 10 this morning. The phone just rang and rang and rang. I couldn't figure out what the problem was because the CSS opens at 8 on Sunday morning. I called the number a 2nd time and then a 3rd time. I was really puzzled by this point.
Showings can be set up on-line. I use the on-line service after-hours on a regular basis. So, I turn on my computer and fire up the browser. The first thing that I see on my homepage had to do with Daylight Savings Time. DST. I had forgotten about DST. The reason I couldn't reach CSS is because they hadn't open their phone bank yet.
The irony here is that I sent out about 400 DST reminder emails to my friends and clients, urging them to change their clocks on Saturday night and to check their fire alarm batteries. I should have taken my own advice!
