Oh, Skywise, you must be mistaken.  It's clearly 9 o'clock in the morning.

Huh?  What do you mean...  It's *different* times around the world?

How... disorganized.

Agreed... working with guys who have positively NO sense for
decent working hours is indeed counter-productive.
I say, indeed, what kind of pretext is that, to say you live
half a world away, and force honest people to wait until
real late just because they want to call you?
