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.

I also hate 12hr clock. I don't know why we can't just use 24 all the time.

That is all :)

Eeek. That sucks. *hug

(Look, YA cuteness!)

I've gotten to like 24-hour time a lot since I've moved here, and I agree, it's much easier to understand.

I think I am one stage further down the path of Time Anal Retentiveness. Not only do I freak out over people who find 24hr clock "too difficult" (what, can't you count that far?), but I snarl about the 12pm / 12am thing too. Let's see, you mean there is a 12 that is before 12 and a 12 that is after 12? What the freaking f***? For heaven's sake, if you can't manage the concept of 00.00 and 12.00, can't you cope with midnight/midday?
Now I'm going to have to pour myself a drink to calm down.

Oh, and BTW, as a person who is entering her 3rd week of living in a house with no bathroom at all, only a toilet (in the kitchen) and one cold water tap, I take your "woe" and raise you one.

and me, the 24 hour one confuses me. Granted, I am mathematically challenged at the BEST of times. But I'll see something listed as 22:00 and think "ok, subtract 2" and THEN I get more confused because it's not even my time zone so it's "Ok, pacific time - so it's 22 -2 +2 so it's 22 which is 10"

*headdesk*
