</div> Sorry for turning the thread to an unexpected direction. I'm not<br>
obsessed with timezone, and I'm not interested in where the office is<br>
at all (I didn't ask it). It was just that our team is also<br>
geographically distributed, and it often does matter to know when to<br>
expect responses from other members, and setting up typical meeting<br>
time, etc. (Unless the applicant is also supposed to work all hours.)<br>
<br>
It is no fun to wake up 2:30 am and listening in a conference call<br>
once a week (or more).<br>
