I have a phone consultation with the florist this Wednesday at 5:30pm PACIFIC. Yes, unlike my past vendors, this lady was courteous enough to work beyond her business hours to accommodate the time difference. I guess there are actually people who live in the eastern time zone that realize there are other time zones other than their own. Once you live in a different time zone, you will soon realize just how EVERYTHING is catered towards the east coast and how ignorant people are over there about it.
When we bought our washer and dryer a few months ago, L.G. decided to give me a call at 6:00am the next day to confirm the purchase. Yes, I understand that it is 9:00am over there, and that would be an acceptable time to make such a call IF YOU LIVE THERE. Did NO ONE who works at L.G. even think about the fact that I might still be sleeping because I live in a different time zone?
And I also love how everyone on facebook insists on plastering what happens on their favorite TV show when it happens. Thanks for ruining who got voted off Biggest Loser, Dancing With the Stars, and American Idol and at the same time explaining what you thought about the House/Cuddy love scene as well as your opinion about who hooked up with who on Jersey Shore and Teen Mom. I STILL HAVE TO WAIT 3 HOURS FOR IT and now I know what's going to happen because you are too stupid living in your little "east coast only" box without any regard to people who haven't watched it yet.
The one thing I enjoy about the time difference is that sports begin at 9:00am on the weekends and are over by 8:30pm, unless there is a specific west coast game on. The superbowl is over at 8:00-8:30pm and then we can go out somewhere and have dinner afterwards. And it's kind of fun to wake up at 8:30am, make a pot of coffee and watch College Gameday until the first game starts.
Moving right along

When we were in college, my sister would tell me about how she had to call NCDC to get data but she had to remember to do it early otherwise everyone would leave and she'd be scared! Sometimes I have to call the west coast and I try to wait until 12 because I wouldn't want a phone call before 9.
ReplyDeleteDo you want me to make you feel better? I have also had people who call me at 4:50 when it's only 1:50 their time and they expect something me to do something for them TODAY. I know you have it worse, but even on the east coast sometimes I get the short end of the stick.
Don't even get me started with sports. I can't even stay awake for the end of games, or even award shows. I have to DVR them and watch them on fast forward when I wake up the next morning. hahahaha.
What are you doing making coffee though? The whole point of watching a game that early is you have a perfectly good excuse to start drinking! hahahaha. I guess if GA Tech or WVU make it to a bowl game I know what we're doing New Years!
