We do our meetings on Outlook and I get an accept or decline response. I don't need anything beyond that. I don't get how you know he accepted at all, if you didn't get that response.
All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But if he accepted, then you know he's coming, right?
No. That's my entire point. You can accept without sending me a response. So I, as meeting organiser, know nothing about it. All it does is fill in your calendar. Doesn't tell me anything, doesn't fill in the tracking screen. Same number of mouse clicks...FOUR people in the meeting, you're the whole point. Yes, I want to know.

I called him and asked him if he was coming, that's how. That's how he made me waste my free phone time.

Because books.

Oh, I get it now. I'm Outlook-challenged, because I don't ever use it.

That's weird, mine fills in the tracking once you accept (or decline or whatever), it just doesn't clutter the Inbox with a jillion responses.

The alternative is that people have consistently been lying to me about accepting my meeting invites without responses, but I check their calendars--the blocks of time of the meeting are now filled in. Just that tracking lists them as "None". Always has.

Yeah, I only get the "send a response y/n?" thing if im declining (at which point I might write back that I'm on vacation that day or whatever--and if it's a one on one meeting suggest a different time)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I envy you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Apparently, we're "upgrading" from Entourage to Outlook, and the rest of the new (not so new now, I guess) Office. More and more people have it, but still not me!
