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."

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... Heheh.

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 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.
