I wish @SlackHQ had an option like "What time is it now? Type in here:" instead of telling them my timezone (or worse, have them try to figure out "automatically"). I simply can't have my current time displayed correctly in Slack, for the past several months... how hard is that
That's certainly an interesting idea for a feature, Roger! We'd also like to help you get your current time displayed correctly. 
Could you email feedback@slack.com so we can look into that for you?
