The meeting is at two where?

Nina, the designer helping with the project remotely, schedules a meeting for two, and Ana learns to confirm times across two time zones without leaving any doubt. Say, "let's meet at two to look at the sign," "two your time or mine," "mine," "then that's five here," "that's too late," "okay to avoid confusion it's five Eastern two Pacific," "got it I'll put both on the invite," "and the date," "Thursday Thursday for both of us," "Thursday at five Eastern confirmed."
