I must respect the Commandments but they're a bit confusing right now to me.... Can you help?
I know we shouldn't work on sundays as god ordered but problem is, when it's saturday in United Kingdom, it's sunday already in Australia. I have to be working on-flight meeting in a private air-plane of the company that takes me Australia and my meeting eventually ends up when it's past midnight in Australia, that's SUNDAY!!!! GOD DAMN IT!!! I don't want to break that commandment but I can't help it and my meeting's up next weekend.
Please help me solving this time-difference between countries and no-work on sundays commandment following?

I think it's okay if you HAVE to work on Sundays. Yes it is wrong, but if you have to feed a family or just have to do it to survive yourself, i think it is okay.
Don't punish yourself that much.
Good luck

The Biblical sabbath starts at sundown on Friday evening and ends at Sundown on Saturday evening.
Christians observe Sunday as the day of rest. You should use local time but be considerate when calling on people in other time zones.
Based on your question you may want to reread the rest of the 10 commandments.

Actually Sunday is not the seventh day of the week. It was only changed by the Roman Catholics which they called it Roman calendar and they have also changed the days in one month. They did not follow the original Hebrew Calendar in making the Roman Calendar. Catholics have burn the Hebrew calendar and what they have circulated all over the world is the Roman Calendar which they made but they did not know that some of the Hebrew Calendars were kept, however everybody will not entertain the Hebrew calendar anymore.
Catholics have even changed the names of the month including the number of days in one month.

The sabbath is Friday sundown to Saturday sundown, so you shouldn't have a problem. Constantine changed it to Sunday in order to make it easier to convert pagans, who worshipping their idols on Sunday, so really, Sunday was never the sabath anyway. So basically, you start counting 24 hours from when the sun goes down on Friday night from your beginning point.

I really think you should relax a little. Chill out. If it's past midnight on a Sunday, that's actually Monday anyway. The fact that you're agonizing over this leads me to believe you're a bit obsessive and legalistic. Get over it.

Well to start with, you get 2 days of rest then & not 1 (flying back must be a pain, cause you loose a day!)
