2400 -2700 or even 2800 is very common on DL Lines, especially if there is an event. If I'm off @ 2400 (1200 am) we often say; "met me @ _____ 2430 or 2445. Ya gotta be a DL CM to get it. Very normal. :)

darph, don't bother thinking. ;) Just TXT me the correct map. :p:

the 2400-3600 was explained at WDW also, that it's their way of timekeeping to show continuous hours for each day.

That's when I 'used' to get outta work. 'IF' I was lucky,I could get a cold one before goin home.

Man you guys do work some long days. Last I heard a day only had 24 hours in it. Some of you work until 2600 or 2800? Now 0045 or 0200 or 0400...that I can understand otherwise there must be just bundles of overtime. :twisted:

24:00 IS 00:00, OR MIDNIGHT.

12:00 IS NOON

its obvious that the bean counters couldn't figure out that at midnight, its a new day when using the 24 hour time designation (some people refer to it as Military time)

having used that method since the 70's to tell time and also to sync various electronic gear and devices (zulu time) its funny to see it used incorectly.

its like somebody saying "meet me at 22:00 P.M."

I guess its too hard to figure out that 27:00 is 03:00?

I am surprised that you would use this, as if there was ever some sort of dispute about working hours etc., a good come back would be that the time 27:00 dosn't exist by the generally accepted practice of a 24 hour time standard.

meh

That must be a DLR thing, here at WDW we use 00:00 for Midnight, 01:00 for 1:00 am, etc.

And then there's WWV in Ft. Collins, CO and AT&Ts STRATUM level 1 clock in Hillsboro, MO.
