Just Add Beer

On an average day, I receive between five and twenty meeting requests. I decline most of the sched+'s* that I receive with such haste that occasionally, I find myself digging through my Deleted Items folder looking for a just-deleted invite that caught my eye while I was deleting it.  Yesterday, I so deleted the following invitation:

Updated: End-To-End Usability Debrief and Beer

Doh!  In the blink of a bloodshot eye, as my email executioner's finger catapulted toward the Delete button, I saw those magical two words “...and Beer”.  After much flailing about in my Deleted Items folder, I accepted the gracious invitation to listen to “blah blah blah”  and “...drink Beer“.

Moral of Story:  Just add “...and Beer”.

*Microsofties commonly say, “please schedule plus me” or write “please sch+ me” or “pls s+ me” when we wish to be invited to a meeting or event. I’ve never used it but apparently, Schedule+ was Microsoft's scheduling application prior to the release of Outlook.
