Actually I goofed on the times!!!

Here is what I could come up with that will make it so that everyone can participate at some 'normal' time of day:

Dec 19th in the US/Canada/UK
5:00pm - 5:00am London (GMT)
Noon - Midnight Boston (US East Coast)
7:00am - 7:00pm Chicago (US Central)
8:00am - 8:00pm Los Angeles (US West Coast)

Dec. 20th in China/Oz
2:00am - 2:00pm China
4:00am - 4:00pm South Australia
6:00am - 6:00pm New Zealand

I used www.worldtimezone.com to figure it out. Here is the link that will tell you what time it is around the world at the scheduled time our party will start in your country.
http://www.worldtimezone.com/time/inter … =12&forma=

So some will have to get up early, some will have to stay up late! But hopefully everyone will find some time during the 12 hour period to pop in and say hello.

Sound OK with you guys???

sarahjane -
Just tell that that you are taking part in a very important life saving teddy bear telethon and that you will need the computer all day. Then tell them that the issues you are dealing with are of a very sentitive and private nature (for the people you are help of course) and that they would be best off to leave you and the computer alone for the day. And to only disturb you if someone is dying... try that see if it works.

Oh Jodi -
How is work...
They are getting nuttier by the minute in our store.
I love gift cards... and when they bring them to us the customers will get say 5 of the same gift card but with 5 different amounts on them. They tell you all at once and expect that you will remember all that and then the cards won't process correctly. 5 seconds later you ask them to repeat and they are on to something else. And they look at you like you are stupid... but in reality if they would slow down then you could get done with their transaction that much fast and get them out the door...

Oh the Joys of retail.

Happy Holidays! HO HO HO!

20 years was enough for me, thank you very much! Holiday shoppers who are hot, tired, dehydrated from the dryness of winter, can't make up their minds, want whatever it is your out of stock in and get mad that you've ran out (like it's your fault they waited until so late!).....

Never mind the long hours, late nights, aching body and the cold that has you flat on your back on Christmas Day cause you've gotten so run down. But that's ok, it's not like you had time to do your own decorating, shopping and wrapping anyway so who wants to have guests over?

Oh dear, not being very cheerful here!

There IS life after retail!!!! That's the good news!

Ho Ho Ho!!

I see that Perth is only 11/2hours behind Sth Australia now, instead of the 21/2 it use to be. I new there had to be some good in daylight savings. bear_grin bear_thumb
