I love my calendar

This is really sad, but - Oooh I'm so excited.
Google calendar just sent me a reminder to go to lunch.
This is soooo brilliant. Miss Crail can descend into complete senility and not worry about anything ever again. Except those two paper diaries she is still shlepping around.
Bonfire of the vanities [maybe] next week.

Thing 6

This is almost a Damascene moment.
Ever since an embarrassing double booking almost 2 years ago, have been meaning to use Google calendar but never gotten round to it. Now, how bad is that? ... Because, again, like Doodle, it does a simple-seeming thing in a simple-seeming way. We like easy, we like clean, we like clear. Great. And there it is, on my home page!
........So WHY has it taken me so long?
Next stop, all those exciting events in Miss Crail's very wee bibliotic empirettes. Except there aren't any at the moment. But, gosh, the students are going to be dead impressed next term!

Thingy 5

Yes, well, Doodle is easy! Suspiciously so. But, nice, we like the immediate traffic-light visual clarity of the replies [So clever to have ice cream colours, which dear Gok Wan has told us are sooooo this season]. And anyway, we cannot cope with too many complications or enhancements. Some of us like to use technology up to the level of expediency and not beyond. Heavens! We have enough to cope with already.

Unfortunately Miss Crail does not attend an awful lot of meetings [thank god] and certainly doesn't need to schedule them. But we are loving the clever ways others are using the tool, who is left-handed, who is old [well, that one was naughty], and as to scheduling a date with the wife - inspired.

Now, tell me, is it considered pretentious to use Doodle to schedule lunch with mates, or even one's tea break?

Ah, Joan - all we want to be...........
