That's why we have 4 clocks in the Planning Department, clearly labeled. Of course, that is behind a door from me, but I mostly just have to know what time it is in Eastern and Central time and I have (like sarameg) been making that calculation a long time. Buyt I still like to be able to choose the correct time zone in Google Calendar or wherever, because then it's not me that's figuring it out.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

There should be a clock app for your smartphone that could show several time zones at once? (Maybe I should write one.)

I have time zone clocks on my calendar and my phone so I know what time it is in San Francisco, NYC, London, Hyderabad, and Tokyo. There are more time zones I could add, but that gives me a pretty good frame of reference for when I can expect people to be working and when to schedule meetings.
I'm so tired. I wanted to sleep in and not do anything, but the painters were scheduled to arrive at 9am, so I dragged myself to the office. I'm putting coffee in my face and hoping my brain comes online at some point so I can start tackling my inbox and To Do list.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm pretty sure there is one. Whenever I've been traveling in different time zones, my dad puts my time zones into his clock app, so that he knows when it's OK to call me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I have a bunch of clocks on my desktop, which is nice for knowing what time it is right now, but it's not as helpful as I would have hoped for future planning.

If she had told me that at the start, I would have included the fucking dates. Redoing those reports is going to take forever and I don't have that kind of time.
I'm sorry, I don't have time to do that. If it's critical I can give you access to the database.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Oh god. I'm having a total everything-is-overwhelming panic attack meltdown and I can't think of how to stop it. Why don't I make notes about this when I'm NOT melting down? Can't stop hyperventilating unless I hold my breath, but that only works for so long.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm on a conference call that will not die.

Someone told me she would send me her own address "ASAP" 45 minutes ago. Our mutual big boss is going to ride my ass so hard for not having it from her yet. Argh.
Edit: Oh phew, he just left for his other thing without checking in with me. I guess my half-answering email was enough for the moment.

And Steph, would it help to completely eliminate everything that is not 100% necessary from your mind right now? Like, clearly this volunteer gig does not actually require your attention today. (No matter what the chair thinks.)
