Isn’t it getting dark after 7 right now? I believe you may have shorted yourself an hour of daylight! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course with equipment & weapons check out/in & briefings it was more like 5 A to 3 P but still having most of the afternoon off was nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That gave him time to get adequate sleep and we had the mornings for fishing in the bay. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been work from home since Mar 2020, so as long as I am working normal "east coast" hours, I'm able to work from almost anywhere in the US. Company says I can't work outside the US without regular permission, but inside the US is fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it works better when you're west of the time zone you have to deal with than the other way around. I've had fantasy football drafts that began 7 pm Pacific Daylight Time and 10 pm my EDT where I did less than an optimum job because I was tired from the start. When traveling I've had jet lag when traveling West (Europe/Middle East to USA, USA to Japan/China), but never when traveling East (USA to Europe/Africa/Middle East, China to USA), probably because I could "sleep in" to get to my internal clock's wake-up time. Fortunately, on my trip to China (12 hour time difference!), we arrived at Shanghai in the evening and got to sleep almost right away for about 9 hours, waking up refreshed enough to enjoy the two weeks touring the country.

I got texted at 4 am on multiple stays in Hawaii, before I got a work phone I could simply turn off. East coasters are the worst regarding their awareness of time differences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12string Posted March 18, 2021 Share #19 Posted March 18, 2021 I never thought much about the West Coast living on East coast time, I always thought it was convenient for me. Then one year we were visiting the kids in CA for New Years, and they were all "It's 9PM! Happy New year". Yeah, that took the air out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
