I would like to officially register my annoyance with the concept of 12-hr time notations (i.e., 4:24 instead of 16:24). It makes looking through the TV guide a right pain. Stupid cultural differences.

Okay, either my e-mail is playing silly buggers with me, or I hallucinated an e-mail from my dad earlier this week. *blinks*

Apparently there's every chance that some manner of piping under my bathroom floor is leaking, and that fixing this will require my bath (and possibly toilet (!) to be ripped out at some point this week. I AM DISPLEASED! Woe.

Heee! I dunno, I guess it's because I'm used to 24-hr notation, and my first thought when I see "8" listed as a time is to think "8 in the morning" and only then notice the am/pm tag.

One of these days, I'm going to do a long post about subtle cultural differences I never anticipated when moving here.

I first noticed 24 hour time when I was in Europe in the 80s. And that got me confused for entirely OTHER reasons - I'd be trying to figure out when to call my mom back home, and have to figure out what time it was there, etc yadda yadda.

I am so so so math impaired!
