 Oh, that's annoying.

 I'm in an odd situation where my company bought a company on Eastern
 time, and we're heavy into separating them from the parent company.
 Most of the vendors are on EDT/CDT and schedule meetings on their time.
 Which means, 7am or noon my time.

 I just spent 4 years working with a boss on Eastern time who worked
 7:30am-4:30am out of personal preference - which was 4:30am-1:30pm my
 time! Made working together challenging.

 Add to that a North America HQ in Central Time and a headquarters in
 Paris, both of which were insensitive to remote office time zones and
 you have a lot of midnight, 4am and 7am meetings. Thankfully I worked
 from home for most of that and could roll out of bed off-camera for
 those meetings.
