US Time Zones, Ranked
SteveA long, long day of scheduling, re-scheduling, and conducting meetings with people all across the USA was the inspiration for the below, your definitive ranking of United States Time Zones:
6. Mountain Time - Not needed, really. How many people do you know who reside in Mountain Time?;)

5. Alaska Time - Reality TV would be a vast wasteland if not for Alaska. Plus, you can see Russia from there.
4. Central Time - Sort of a middle-of-the-road, not making waves kind of time. Plain.
3. Pacific Time - Has the annoying habit of showing Knicks home games at 4PM.
2. Hawaiian-Aleutian Time - I have never actually used this time zone, but since it has Hawaii, it must be fantastic.
1. Eastern Time - The only US time zone that really counts. Yes, I live in Eastern time, what of it?
Have a great night, (or day if you are on Hawaiian-Aleutian Time).

Nice one ! IT made me smile. I live in Dubai, and for me the only 2 US time zones that matter are Pacific and Eastern.... much easier to interact with folks on the East coast though as they are "only" 9 hours behind my time.
Regarding scheduling etc, I've recently discovered Assistant.to (at http://www.trybetty.com/assistantto/index.html) and absolutely love its simplicity for scheduling meetings and calls.
Thanks for the comments and for supporting my theory that Mountain Time and Central Time are not really needed! I have used the Assistant.to tool for some meetings. I like it, but it has a few limitations that make it not suitable for all use cases I have. But it has helped some.
