But France is in the same time zone as Italy... And here time isn't screwy at all. *gives a puzzled look at his alarm clock*

Nobody's supposed to know about World One Surveillance duty.

I like the narrative voice you had going in the second paragraph. It's hard to pin down except as "Funny! Do more of that!".

Of course the poo will be rather annoying...
