I don't really follow. I thought the whole concept was not having to do exactly this. Or maybe I just don't understand, I don't know.
If I'm investigating something and am interrogating logs, I'll mentally switch time bases to UTC, after which I'm natively thinking in UTC until I decide to switch back. I also have no issues converting to the handful of timezones I use often.
I'll never understand why people would want to use UTC as their native time. But then I'm on the other end of the absolutist spectrum, "often" looking up my local solar time, and shaking my fist at the sky about the local administrative time being oh so off from the "real local time" (that being, said local solar time).
