This weekend Health Canada is giving clinicians across the country (and really all of North America) an opportunity to feel the anxiety, fear, and excitement all over again. In 2007, the dates for switching between Standard and Daylight Saving time were changed, and the authorities, three years into the new schedule, have issued a warning for this weekend’s one hour rollback: Medical equipment manufactured prior to 2007 may not function optimally if the equipment has not been updated by manufacturers to compensate for the new dates. To date, Health Canada has not received any reports of device malfunct...

And, according to a study published by the Journal of Applied Psychology, that means you’re more likely to get injured on the job today. Not surprisingly, lack of sleep seems to make some worker bees less alert, heightening their risk of injury on the Monday after Daylight Saving Time. At Blisstree, we’re drinking extra coffee and keeping our mugs far away from our keyboards.

I’m in it for the fourth year in a row. I haven’t talked to Shirl yet, but I hope she joins up again. It’s nice having company on this trek through words and psyche. I am also trying to get used to the shift back to normal time and away from Daylight Savings Time. Speaking of “time,” maybe that’s a good theme. Then again, any large, expansive noun like that makes for a good theme. If you’re also doing NaNoWriMo, let me know. The more, the merrier, to coin a cliché.
