I've obviously had too much coffee this morning and really need to get a 
job - being stuck in the house gets me all worked up ;^)

I'll take your text and put that instead of my monday-morning version. I 
had a laugh. Okay I'm just human too.

And that daylight thing indeed amazes me. It also means I'm gonna be yet 
another timezone further from my family - really screwing things up 
badly - for instance - now I can actually reach people in europe during 
office hours. That will be nearly impossible with the new timezones.

enough offtopic, back to procrastinating.
