How my schedule gets me in trouble.

[tablesaw]

My days are not your days; my times are not your times. When I say late night, you say early afternoon. When you say prime time, I say breakfast. When you say weekend, I say Monday Morning.

I still am never quite sure when a day is supposed to begin. At work, for example, I will work 88% of my eight-hour shift on June 13, but the time will be logged for June 12. And even though the calendar says it's Friday and the company says it's Thursday, for me, since it's my third working day of the week, it's Wednesday.

It's complications like this that lead me into trouble with things like deadlines when I tell IF-Review that, yes, of course I'll have my Anchorhead review finished by Friday, since Friday is the end of the week and the end of the week is Sunday.

Sigh. Back to writing, I guess.

FriNYTX: 20:21. Felt stupid for not getting 17A right away. ThuLATX: 11. FriLATX: 12.

You need to post a table (and place it in memories) so that the rest of the world can translate time into TableSawTime before they mention dates and deadlines to you. If you feel like it you can even rename the 'TableSaw Days of the Week'. :)

When we talked about the game review on the mud, I thought we had agreed on the 20th being the target date, so you've still got a week to go.

And when I say 20th, I mean the 20th day of June, in the year 2003 of the commonly-accepted calendar in the United States of America.

In other words, you've got a week starting right...... NOW!
