Coming from an educational background of imperial units, I sometimes catch flak from ... most of the world about this.

I take joy in exuberantly pushing back on their insistence of clinging to such archaic time units as "minutes", "hours", and "days", telling them to come back when they embrace kiloseconds. It is telling that most of my friends accept this with equal joy and laughter (:

It probably doesn't hurt that I've also spent time drilling metric conversions so that I can code-switch pretty seamlessly among units. Neurotic tendencies can have payoffs.
