Keeping track of time zones can be tricky. At 9 am, it is still normal working hours for you in the US, but has your client in Asia gone home for the day? You are traveling but still need to call into a 10:00 am meeting. What time is that for you in your current location? Arizona does not observe daylight savings time. Are they currently two or three hours earlier than the East Coast? It keeps switching.
