miscellaneous musings
ChaoSera:
My comment was meant more as a general statement.
lepetitfromage:
Gareth, I had a similar thing happen at my part time job. I was looking at the schedule and noticed that we had a few new people hired (YAY!) and then I noticed that one of them was scheduled one day from 6am-12am. Brutal!
GarandMarine:
You're all actually wrong for using GMT. GMT is not the set, coordinated/scientifically defined standard by which the world time zones are set. Nor is it the military's "Zulu". What you want is Coordinated Universal Time. aka UTC. (It's UTC because of the French, obviously.) saying GMT works for casual settings but since most of you are talking professional settings (given my main office was in NZ and our other major offices in Malaysia and the UK I got quite used to UTC as the international business standard)
The Seldom Killer:
OK lad, when anywhere else in the world judges the passing of the meridian by a big red ball going up and down a pole on an Observatory and a fricken laser, then I might briefly consider UTC. Until then, nobody else is giving time the due reverernce it deserves.
cesium133:
You'll find many places in the world judge the passing of time using fricken lasers. In fact, two of the guys who graduated from the research group I'm in are now working for a company that makes such timekeeping devices.
