time zones really suck

I had to work 15 hours yesterday b/c the last part of my day dealt with a 9-hour long meeting in Alaska.

I'm exhausted.

Re: time zones really suck

I know what you mean. I've been on conference calls that included people from Hawaii, California, Texas, New York, England, and Australia..... try and coordinate a good time for that!

Re: time zones really suck

I've been there, too! Finally you have to find a nice way to word an email that says "Look, the time's going to suck for at least 1 of us, so let's just draw straws."

I used to do a tremendous amount of international work - a lot with Asia. China's 12 hours ahead. That doesn't mean I didn't have all my regular work to do while they were sleeping... I just then had to talk to them when they wake up!

Then there was a time I was working with many different offices of one huge company all over the world. There were some days I'd have meetings at 4AM, Noon, 9PM, 11PM...

This global economy isn't all it's cracked up to be.
