You’re about a three-hour flight from both coasts and when you get there you’re not completely out of whack because your internal clock is only off by an hour or two. Hopefully sooner rather than later.Ĭentral Time seems like it’s right in the sweet spot. You’re not tough you have such bizarre abandonment issues that you’ll die on this God-forsaken island of metal. This is New York – the city that never sleeps.” It doesn’t sleep because it wants to stay up late with the rest of the cool kids. We deal with it every day because we’re tough. None of your clients will be awake until lunchtime, which is now your breakfast. ![]() even though essentially we’re asking you to get up in the middle of the night after a three thousand mile commute. “We expect all West Coast employees to be in the office at 8 a.m. ![]() If you travel from another time zone to EST for work you’re then expected to just roll with this fucked up time rape along with everyone else. Nothing will be open and I’ll starve to death.” “My plan today? Well I’m going to wake up, go to the airport, take a flight to Washington DC and then go to bed because that’s all I can possibly do. Traveling to the East Coast from any other part of the country is brutal. You wait around for sporting events to start in the middle of the night (afternoon if we’re talking football on Sunday) and if your team is playing on the West Coast you have to call in sick the next day.

For instance, Howland Island and Baker Island use UTC-12:00 and are sometimes assigned Anywhere on Earth (AoE). The US also possesses outlying islands which do not observe any of the nine time zones. The US territories observe Samoa Time Zone (American Samoa), Atlantic Time Zone (US Virginia Islands and Puerto Rico), and Chamorro Time Zone (the Northern Mariana Islands and Guam). The state of Alaska observes Alaskan Time Zone (UTC-09:00), while Hawaii and parts of the Aleutian Islands have Hawaii-Aleutian Time Zone (UTC-09:00). For instance, Eastern Time refers to EST or EDT. The time zones observed by the 48 states use generic names, without highlighting the difference between DST and standard time designations. The DST is observed in all of the contiguous states except Arizona (observed only in the Navajo Nation). Washington, Nevada, California, and parts of Oregon and Idaho observe Pacific Time Zone (UTC-07:00) while the states straddled by the Rocky Mountains and Great Plains’ western quarter have Mountain Time Zone (UTC-06:00).
