Todorrow- a word used by those of us who live on the opposite side of the world yet still have family and business in the States. Our 14 hour ahead time difference forces us to stay awake and conduct important business transactions after midnight on the phone with people who have just arrived at work. These people are usually very cranky (because they are being forced to think immediately upon arrival to work) or very perky (possibly because they are freshly at work after a good nights sleep or just excited to be talking with someone in an "exotic" location).
People who live in todorrow must also learn to adjust to the phone ringing at all hours of the night. Which is precisely what happened last night at 3 am when a unsuspecting real estate agent in Virginia called to chat. No matter how many times this happens I am always rattled. I mean who calls at 3 am except the ER or the jailhouse saying someone you love is there? Yikes! Lee let the nice lady on the phone know what time it was here and she was completely embarrassed. He did offer to call her back, asking what time she will be eating dinner. Fair is fair right? Just kidding, we are nicer than that! Now I am wondering what she wanted!
