I really like this lady, though. I don't think it is a weird power play like some of the other people who do it. But seriously, if the wants people to email/call first, then hide her schedule at least.
Then there are the assistants that want you to put them on the meeting request" even though they are a delegate! Or the people who put me on the meeting request when they want my boss- I have shown up for a few meetings I wasn't invited to!
Apparently I have deep seated feelings about meeting schedules!
It's a whole fraught Thing, and takes way too much time, always!
So, I've been casually looking at job postings, and just saw one that looks amazing: doing the kind of work I'm interested in, in the same building as my old job, so a decent commute, AND it looks like the last person in the job made more than I make now! All my criteria!
Awesome, Jesse! You should put in for it.
Woo, glad you are going for it, Jesse!
Apparently I have deep seated feelings about meeting schedules!
Oh, man. I have SO MANY FEELINGS about this. Like, how about you don't double and triple-book me for meetings? Why wouldn't you look at my calendar to see when I'm available? Why am I making the effort to update my calendar if you chuckleheads aren't even going to use the tools we have that can SHOW YOU WHEN ALL NECESSARY PEOPLE ARE AVAILABLE?!
Go Jesse!
Man, I am feeling all warm and fuzzy towards my company's meeting scheduling process now. It's pretty reasonable. Even if any meetings are kinda too many meetings for me, but once I grant that there have to be some meetings, the way mine are scheduled is not bad.
Go, Jesse! Wooo!
I don't think it occurs to anyone in my Department that they can look at other people's calendars and see who's scheduled for when.
