sigh
Central standard time I'm guessing, so mid-US I guess "central" and "standard" mean here, so I'm guesstimating GMT-7. That would put it around 8:30 GMT.
For what it's worth, i too hate when people say things like "EST","CST" etc. Not only are they difficult to remember, but they're ambiguous. i.e. AEST is Australian Eastern Standard Time, but no one includes the A when it's spoken and rarely when its written, which often means when two people over email say "lets talk at 9am EST", hopefully they're on the same continent, or they will miss each other by around ~14 hours.
Also, for the rest of the thread, central time zone is currently observing daylight saving time, so the correct abbreviation is CDT.
Sorry to jump in with such pedantry. Datetime math is hard! :)
You're an adult with the Internet right in front of you, act like it.
Having to look it up is the inconvenience.
