Good afternoon

Wow, 12:01 p.m. and my coworker has seamlessly made the transition from answering the phone with a "Good morning" to answering the phone with a "Good afternoon!"

This is impressive.

Also: I see no reason whatsoever that a.m. should switch to p.m. at 12:00 rather than 1:00. It would make so much more sense if it went from 11:59 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. The whole clock just needs to be shifted so one is at the top, where it belongs. Okay?

Another solution: go from 11:59 a.m. to 0:00 p.m. This also works.

I rather agree with you about the am pm thing. Why should 12 be different than 11?

When I was little, I was convinced that PM started at 1 o'clock. My mom tried so hard to tell me I was wrong, but it just made more sense to me that way.

Okay, here's MY question: You say it's 12:01... but it says you posted your blog at 11:03am. So are you one of those time travelers, or what?
