Any Human Problems from the Time Switch?

There was a posting somewhere the other day about computer glitches that occur during the time change that cause the station(s) to go kablooey. Were there any human errors at any stations?

At an AM station here in CT the Sunday Morning Guy, who is normally on the air 6AM-7AM and then board ops taped programming 7AM-10AM arrived at the station at 7AM and completely missed his show. The station ran The Jones GoodTimes Oldies Network in Place of his show. (That's what is set to run if there's no local programming). He ran the infomericals at 7AM and fell asleep and the station went off the air at 8AM. He woke up at 8:15AM and ran the taped Polka Show. He got cussed out my the Italian Show host because the Polka show ran into his timeslot by 15 minutes.
 
Aside from the fact that I got off work at 3am Sunday morning and had be back at 9am, no problems at all :)

I had a 7AM airshift when we 'fell back' and I was late for work by a half hour...just cut into my prep time though. Got lucky and was woken up.
