- I'll second this. Americans in Alaska and Hawaii might want to point out
- that there are more than four time zones in the US, and we have quite a few
- in Canada too (we're on AST here, Newfoundland is ahead of us). I keep
- getting calls back from engineers who claim that they were calling me
- all afternoon the day before. Since I usually leave for supper about the
- same time they're getting back from lunch, of course they never reach me.

- I've tried leaving a note on my file that we are four hours ahead of
- Silicon Valley, but it doesn't work.
