One particular thing that has affected be a lot is the fact that in Bangladesh the weekend days are Friday and Saturday. Which would lead people think that I spend 3 days completely out of touch with my office in US. However, adding up the 10 hour time difference gives me an interesting disadvantage. Notably, by the time I wrap up my week on a Thursday here, people in Atlanta are just preparing to go to work on a fine Thursday morning. Which means that they still have 2 days to finish this week.

Similarly by the time they start working on Monday morning, I have already wrapped up two business days in the week. So it boils down to the fact that instead of being out of touch with the office for 3 days, I am infact only in contact with the office for 3 days. The rest 4 days are lost in weekends.

Interesting no?
