i hate that computers define 'today' and 'tomorrow' on days centered on midnight.

several times this has lead to problems when i'm doing a late-night work binge that cross into 12am and i see relative date terms that confuse me.

if you're out with some friends and it's 12:15 AM and you say "i really need to go, i have a big day tomorrow" it's understood that that means the big day is on this calendar date but after i wake up and NOT the following day.
