3 hours ahead vs. 3 hours behind

I remember when I still lived in Seattle I always knew my mom would be awake by the time I was up... so if I got up early I could call someone.

I remember when I still lived in Seattle and I worked at companies that had offices on the East Coast and if you needed something you had better get to it before 2:00 PM.

Now there are days I can't wait for my Pacific Time people to come on-line in the morning...
