- Handling a +10h gap: Los Angeles and Addis Ababa have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in Addis Ababa is 7:00 PM in Los Angeles.
- Coordinating a Los Angeles-based team with Addis Ababa contacts: quoting times in the other side's local clock — not your own — removes the single biggest source of missed meetings.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM PDT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +10h gap is not.
