As a public service to the blogosphere, I will give the following advice:
6AM EST is not 9AM PST. It is, in fact, 3AM PST, and not a terribly appropriate time for an online meeting.
You’re welcome.

Because, you know, there aren’t any on-line calculators to help you figure things like that out.

Well, I haven’t found any online calculators that will teach me when it’s appropriate to add as opposed to subtract…
Maybe I should register meisdumb.com…

Outlook takes care of those things for you… you can even add another time zone to your calendar display using tools > options > calendar options > time zone. The app doesn’t seem to be very popular among schools, probably b/c of licensing cost and admin challenges.
It is an ongoing issue though, the more geographically distributed we become… I have one Alaskan project team member who wants to take a couple of mornings a week off, while the rest of his project team is Eastern time, meaning their schedules don’t intersect those days. Bad choice. P

Well, the problem is, *I* was the dummy.

Heheh. I’ve done that, though it was by calling a friend on the east coast while I was on the west coast. I got her father, who sounded very sleepy and vaguely annoyed. Oops…

I had a producer who used to call me in NY from LA and he could never figure out the time difference. He called me at 2 in the morning quite often.
He said, “The sun comes up in NY before it does in LA, right? Then it’s gotta be earlier there.”
