What is Your Time Zone?

You are not permitted to say what your Time Zone is but you have to name what is, in your opinion, the worst aspect of being in your Time Zone specific to your Time Zone.

Bonus: If you can use "time zone" in a sentence more than three times you get a gold star. Grammatically correct preferred but creativity is encouraged.

私は太平洋のタイムゾーンで午前。私は西海岸にいるような。そのクールタイムゾーン。
我々はこの時間帯にすべてのベストを持っている。

but apparently my google translate skills are not well. Japanese, yes, but beyond that

So here is a random XTC song which illustrates my essence at this moment...

Somewhere out in the universe sits a small yellow star, and orbiting is a small blue green planet. As the inhabitants of said planet orbit said star, they are subjected to shifts in local perceived time which they call time zones. Having a time zone is fine but the greedy merchants decided time zones should adjust time in the time zones periodicaly to give more daylight for shopping. And that's the worst part of the whole time zone system as you spring back and fall forward an hour. Or is that spring forward and fall back? Other time zones don't participate in this changing within the zone but others change it by half an hour... Nutters.

after all, you never know where your hotel towels have been in the Carnival Cruz time zone which is also referred to as the Prick Perry time zone and the Crawford Crud time zone--some even call it the Red State Row time zone.

My Time Zone is in the Mountain Time Zone and also known as Arizona Mountain Time Zone due to not observing daylight saving time(except for the Navajo Nation).

events are scheduled for the same local time in each time zone, residents of a US time zone (of which there are three) to the east of my time zone will inadvertently mention aspects of the event after it has aired in their own time zone, but before the air time has arrived in my time zone - producing an irritating phenomenon known as a 'spoiler' for denizens of my time zone...

There are many positive aspects to living in the time zone that is the furthest west of all the time zones on the North American continent, however receiving all live broadcasts done out in eastern time zones late at night is not one of them.
