I just use my work calendar for this. Same with concerts and really any other plan I'm likely to forget (which is pretty much everything). The pop-up reminders are invaluable.

Google updated the look of their calendar, a program that I need access to all day everyday at work, and it is absolutely terrible. They changed the colors of my appointments and everything. Thanks google, this fudge looks like it is designed for a cell phone and it's a drymounting eyesore.

:cussing:
Eh, I like it well enough. They fixed some of my pet peeves with the older version. And google does this every few years, where they'll do a drastic redesign of their suite of apps. Every time, there's initial dislike from a lot of people who are so used to the way it was, but then ultimately those people get to like the new version just as much if not more. Google puts a ton of research into user experience and are always trying to improve. So most of their changes are driven by pretty legit reasons.
So it goes...

drymount change. I'm trying to do my job here and I don't have time to re-learn this program's idiosyncrasies on the fly. It is visually repugnant compared to the previous look and it's a huge pain in the ass that all my different meeting colors and tabs are switched from what they were.

The 'research' is just a buncha jagoff millenial fuckwits shitting all over a perfectly good program. At least give us the option to keep the old way or the old look, or find a way to transition without messing my stuff up. Rant over. I'll get over it... but I'll be back next time they change it.

why don't you just feed the calendar into a desktop program you aesthetically like using.

People who can't drive on snow and ice. I understand that people in the south don't see this type of weather very often but if you don't know how to drive on it just stay home. I had to drive 12 miles on a
2 lane road behind a car that wouldn't go faster than 25 MPH. The road had some snow cover but two ruts that were clear to the pavement.

Some people don't really have the option to just stay home...
