I think I found a time thingy ma bob...

Is it just me or do folks have 2 times that they keep track of, 1 is real time, the other is internet time.

Seems to me like internet time moves twice as fast as real time and there is no differences between day and night and weekends do not exists.

You've raided the liqour cabinet, haven't you? :p I think I know what you talking about. I can be on here at 1:00 in the morning and it feels like it's mid-afternoon, but as soon as I get up I can barely stay awake.

Oh i can understand the time flies thing....

Im refering more to how people think anyone on the internet works 24/7

example...someone just called here, 8:30 pm on a friday night wanting to make sure I would be filming at BPG this weekend. thats not bad mind you, but when they call at 2 am on a tuesday it is a bit out of hand:p or they send you an email, and 5 others every 20 minutes wondering when you are going to reply etc.

I know I've made mistakes with our customers because I would call at time that was inappropriate because of the times zones. It was 9:00 here, but it was 7:00 in California. But I agree, people should pay more attention to when they call.

LOL...someone from texas called at midnight a few days ago wanting me to take a poll. i asked him how he got my number and the usual anti salesman gruff when he apologized and told me about the time zone. i never gave that a thought, but any calls to a residence should be within reasonable hours etc. i dont get mad when a customer of mine calls, but the salesman gotta go:ermm:

I break out my "Layla, get back in your cell!!! Don't make me get the hose!!!" type of line when those people call.:p I have fun with them.

Now imagine how I feel since I am 12~15 hours ahead of the US. For some reason my family and friends love to call me at 4:00am :( even after I explain the time difference and when is the best time to call from their time zone.

LMAO...I got a voicemail from a guy at work one day asking that I call him back. I'm in the office at lunch time and call the number without thinking. The dude answers the phone all groggy and proceeds to tell me he's in Guam and is 10 hours behind me:p
