workaday Wednesday

It’s meeting day today! Interesting note on meetings at my workplace: in an attempt to make things easier, they’ve actually created a fascinating way to keep track of a lot of things that are going on.

1. The company uses google calendar, with varying degrees of success.

2. There are only a certain number of meeting rooms, and they each have their own calendar (so you can book the room and invite everyone in the meeting and it will show up on their calendar).

3. Which means you can add the meeting room calendars to your own view and see what’s booked in there each and every day.

4. So interesting! Browsing the week’s meetings is now a relatively common activity for our team. It’s often difficult to tell whether people don’t realize the calendars are public or just genuinely don’t think anyone looks at them. Surprise!
