[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wildly unpopular opinion : I miss the days when people would send an email asking when I was available for a meeting. I hate the idea of "blocking my calendar" and "putting something on someone's calendar" as if any unbooked time means I am free to meet. I might have a big project due the next day or be thinking of playing hooky this afternoon. And I definitely think it's ridiculous to have to block times outside of 9 to 5.[/quote]

I usually look at calendars and then send out an email saying it looks like x date is good, if so I'll send out the invite. If not please suggest time.[/quote]

This is a bunch of extra steps.  I find a time that works for most in Outlook (specifically the most critical people) and in the meeting invite I say "let me know if this time works or if another is better."  No one else wants to deal with the nightmare of sorting through calendars, so most of the time it sticks, or else someone asks to move it and we find another time.  No need for a bunch of back and forth emails (while, in the meantime, people's calendars are shifting and filling with other meetings). [/quote]
