OK fight my ignorance on this one. I’m on holiday and seem to have lost track a bit - coulda sworn it was Thursday but now I have this little nagging feeling that says it’s only Wednesday (and w00t! if it is!). I’m in the UK \<----- this bit is very important for when you are responding. 😕 :smack: 😃 ---

It’s still Wednesday where you’re at. However, you’re about 5 hours ahead of me, so I think you can rely on your watch to tell you when it becomes Thursday. 😛 ---

w00t! 😃 😃 😃 I honestly thought it was Thursday. To the extent that last night I texted a work colleague to ask if the shifts had been put up for next week. Cos, y’know, they go up on a Thursday. No wonder I didn’t get a reply yet. ---

Here in Switzerland we can confirm that it’s Wednesday. The Swiss take their time seriously, as you know. ---

It’s been Wednesday for all of 7 hrs 45 mins here in CA. That being said, this is the first day this week that I’ve been on time. Monday, I thought it was Tuesday, Tuesday I thought it was Wednesday. For some reason, today, I realize it is, indeed, Wednesday. ---

Here in Israel it’s “Fourth Day”… lemme see, yes, that translates to Wednesday in English 😃 If you can’t remember what day it is you must be **really** enjoying that vacation! (or too drunk to care… :p) ---

My wife came home last night and thought it was Wednesday too. Was really relieved it was only Tuesday (but was mad she had to wait another day for _America’s Next Top Model_ :p) ---

No problem Augus West - what time will you get here? I also realised today that I don’t actually know where I work. Sure I know where the train station is and where to pick up the trains - but what the hell is the address??? I worked out a fix eventually but jeez companies should think about us poor sods with no technical work address. 😃 ---
