    How would the new time zones work in practice? Wenche Pedersen, the mayor of Vadsø who authored the letter, is unsure.

    “We haven’t thought a lot about that” she said. “The clock will go from 12 to 13… and we have to see how this will go. I don’t think they’re going to say yes so we haven’t thought about all the details.”

    Huh. Great idea.

      Make a proposal without a plan or a feasibility study is peak management. Starting to understand how I end up with projects with very firm deadlines that are only vaguely defined and no one is sure if we have the resources on hand.
