I recommend that those of us who do not live in the US make a big deal tomorrow about looking forward to British/European Summer Time starting at the end of the month, just to see what happens

Being a professional NHS patient:

Leaving the ultrasound department to head to your second hospital appointment of the morning, when you get a phone call from the NHS to rearrange an appointment, and you have to ask which department it is because you're expecting two callbacks 🫣
