The Queens Birthday

Today, it's the Queen's Birthday which makes it a public holiday in New Zealand. No such luck of course in the UK, so tonight it's work as usual.

One of the odd aspects of working with global partners is trying to co-ordinate activities around different public holiday calendars. It is a little like time-zones. 12.00pm Monday here now is 1.00am Monday in the UK, 5.30am in Bangalore and 4.00pm (Sunday) in Los Angeles. Planning conference calls and Skype calls around these times makes for an interesting series of entries into Outlook. And relies heavily on a partner who understands. Thank you then Jacqui!
