on different time zone/clock

How should I form the sentences the correct way?

The users are in different time zone and the server is in U.S time zone.

If you can take care of the camp on that side of the clock, I'll make you leader. [The person who said this lives in USA. When he sleeps I am awake, so while he's sleeping he wants me to take care of the camp]

I'm on a different time clock. When you get up I go to sleep.

Thank you!!!

  • If you can take care of the camp on that side of the clock, "side of the clock" makes no sense when you are talking about time!
  • Just talk about "time".

The users are in a different time zone and the server is in a U.S. time zone.

You must be kidding!
The United States has at least six time zones.

No, I am not kidding. Legally the US has four times zones. In 1918, Congress passed the Standard Time Act, which legally enforced four time zones-- Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific. Hawaii and Alaska were made states much later. Yes, there are Alaskan and Hawaiian time zones, however since these states rarely play a part in the bigger scheme of things they are rarely mentioned or even consi

Actually the person who said the word clock must be an American, because it made perfect sense to me when used in a jovial, casual way. This message is obviously an email or message from someone who is speaking casually. I knew exactly what he meant, although I should have made reference in my comment to my thoughts on its usage.

My main objection to your post, which I might not have made clear, was your acceptance of those two very odd sentences. I doubt that native speakers would utter such sentences.
The number of time zones in the U.S.is a lesser issue.

Yes, and I can understand clearly your objection to my acceptance on the usage of clock, but it does not seem odd to me under the circumstances. He clearly states that the person is an American, and unfortunately this is the way that we say things in our casual emails and correspondences with one another. However, I do agree with you completely when it comes to my responsibilities in the

I've added to clarify. Is this better? Do you say that a server is in a time zone? Is that common? or on a time zone, or something completely different to express this sentence?

The users are in different time zone and the server is in a central U.S time zone. The stats reset Monday morning US time which means it's Monday afternoon Australian time.
