Time zone changes are confusing. For everyone.

Dad: "You're never online anymore."
Me: "What are you talking about? I'm online all the time."
Dad: "But at 6 in the morning, the computer would make a ping sound and a box with that silly picture of you scuba diving would pop up. You'd say [puts on high-pitched fake girl voice] 'hi,' and it was so cute. I miss our early morning Google chats."
Me: "Uhh... that's because I was in India, and it was 3:30 in the afternoon."
Dad: "Right. So what? You're telling me you're not awake at 6am anymore?"

Not anymore. A month out of India, and I'm over the jetlag and adjusted to US Eastern Standard Time. Which naturally means I can't get out of bed before 10am.
