How's Tuesday in April?

I'm at work.

What about Wednesday?

Still working

And Thursday?

Believe it or not, work.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

I can do weekends.

No we're not open on weekends.

I confidently answer "yes that's perfect thank you so much" knowing full well that it is in fact not perfect every time

Google calendar literally changed my life. They ask me if I’m available in 6 months, I am pulling up my calendar and adding that immediately. Now I know that on that day, I am booked for an hour.

I just wish the app wouldnt keep fucking changing to Day view instead of Month view

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I feel the same way

I wish that it had better reminders though. I don't want a little polite notification area message for events, I want an alarm.

Same. Google Assistant is pretty good with calendar too. I now just say hey Google set an appointment for June 4th next year at 2pm called nostril doctor. And most of the time she listens

Had a dermatologist appointment today. The receptionist asked me with a straight face if 2 PM on Tuesday in June of 2025 would work.

"No, I'll be watching Dune 3." Do you have a 3:45?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Honestly think it's a fair question. Check your calendar. Maybe you had a wedding that day. Maybe you normally work from 8-5 and would prefer to go at 7am. Maybe you had vacation planned.

I have a schedule that has events going out until 6+ months from now. How do you survive with adult responsibilities without doing that?

[–] [email protected] 69 points 1 year ago (1 children)

By not having so many events I need to schedule them 6 months out. You should give it a try, works wonders.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

So you don't schedule any doctor appointments and never buy tickets to concerts or other events in the future? Huh....

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (9 children)

Not 6+ months out why tf would I have to wait 6 months for a Dr's appointment?? The only thing I schedule that far in advance is a holiday at a destination that takes longer than 5 hours to drive to.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

A dermatologist. It's impossible to see one in less than six months.

I think this is the difference between people living in super populated areas, and more rural ones. I have no issue getting a close appointment in Ohio, but it’s much more difficult in Los Angeles (w/o going to the ER).

Or vacations? Or family events? Or camping trips with friends? Music festivals? Conferences? Presentations, working group meetings, etc. for work?

No kidding. At least with writing in my dentist appointment that far out, I can plan around it, or reschedule if it conflicts. I know plenty of people though that just keep everything in a mental schedule, and they are constantly scrambling.

By flying by the seat of your pants. A plan is just a list of stuff to go wrong. Sick kid and now you’re with them at home trying to figure out which appointments to move instead of just dealing with each week as it comes.

How often does everything work out in your schedule for a day? Week? Month? Because if you say more than once you’ve got a seriously wayyyy to easy going life apparently.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

I do this all the time + my director level duties at work + raising a 3.5 year old.

It's quite easy to deal with and you just need to shift a few days if something comes up.

It's not like you are planning a full day a year out. It's typically vacation or doctors appointment or birthday type event.

I have adhd so unfortunately my ability to manage time is literally handicapped. The further ahead something is scheduled, the more difficult it is for me to keep track of and remember.

I’m with you on this. Routine visits are always booked 6+ months in advance and I’d totally lose track if I didn’t keep a calendar for my life lol

I got ADHD so ANYTHING that needs to be remembered for later goes in Google calendar, or it ceases to exist 20 minutes after being told about it

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I can do it in 10 minutes without ADHD.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm one of those assholes who has to negotiate dates and times even 4 months or a year out. I live by my calendar and my schedule is always packed M-F.

I always say, "Um, I think so. I guess schedule it and I'll cancel it later if I have to?" Then there's an awkward silence while they put it into the system.

Worst part of the dentist by far.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Could just say "sure"

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I guess that's better than what happened to me:

Went to the doctor for a raptured eat drum, the checkup (free of charge) was in two weeks but the secretary won't take appointments unless it's within the week, so when I called she said she was full and set up one for next week (how hard was doing that 2 weeks ago...). When I went for the appointment the doctor tired to charge me 1/2 of a regular visit since it took me way too long for the checkup...

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

raptured eat drum

Jesus getting awfully picky lately.

And? Use a damn calendar. It's really not that hard to know if you're free. I have stuff scheduled a year out.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Seriously, it's like my external memory. Put in appointment or reminder and totally forget about it until it pops up.
