Default What time zone?

... yeah, I'm that bored. Anyway, like the title says, what time zone is everyone in? I've always been a little curious what time of day it is for the rest of ya'll compared to where I'm at.

I'm in the eastern time zone (UTC -5 hours).

Right now, it's 11:36 PM (compare that to the time stamp at the top of the post on your screen).

You don't know how to read it! Most jobs will require military time, to eliminate a missed am or pm on documents. Mine does. Just -12 from the number above 12.

Well... It's not that I can't read it as much as I have to think about it too much. It's not second nature to me yet. 12 hour time is just easier to read!

Well, as we always say at work "7pm, or 1900 for those of you in the military." Haha.

Could be worse though... not only do we usually use 24 hour time, but a lot of the times we track in my job, we use Zulu (UTC) time, not local time.
Right now, it is 0600Z.
