set the time_slug to my format_time_using(the (current date), ":", {"H",
"MM"})
set {oldtid, text item delimiters} to {text item delimiters, {":"}}
set hour_to_test to text item 1 of the time_slug as integer
set retained_minutes to text item 2 of the time_slug
set text item delimiters to {""}
set time_slug to time_slug & " AM"
if hour_to_test is greater than 12 then
set hour_to_test to hour_to_test - 12
set time_slug to hour_to_test & ":" & retained_minutes & " PM" as text
end if
time_slug
