Monday vs. Sunday
Is this Monday? Very different feeling to the day. I watched ABC World News Tonight from Sunday evening at 7:30 this morning. Then rolled into work, just like I did yesterday.In fact, Sunday is really the most interesting day here. As I mentioned before, they work seven days a week here! It was as busy on Sunday as any other day. Only there were a few less top managers, since most had gone to their homes in Hong Kong for their one day home per week.
I asked one manager: who was in charge on Sunday? I sure didn’t want to be called on in an emergency. They complied that the supervisors handle things in their absence, and that “hopefully there be no emergency”.
The plant was packed with workers just continuing on with their jobs. They seem to never stop.
But now on Monday, the feeling is a little unique since its still Sunday in the US. Really makes you realize you are ahead of the rest of the world. It ends up being a rather quiet day. Email complaints from US managers are practically nonexistent. So it really puts you ahead of the US so much you feel like it’s a free day.
