A top response: “Nope, not gonna do that. I forget on purpose. What, like I'm gonna show up back at work and ‘hit the ground running?’ Absolutely not.” 🎅

CCing my EA reader Cassandra at HelixNano made this meme and Slacked it to her exec before she turned off her notifications for two weeks. ☃️

A couple posts just for good holiday vibes! 🎄

1 Tech Tip

View multiple time zones in Outlook!

Today’s quick tech tip is from a CCing my EA reader, Sarah Jangula.

In Microsoft Outlook:

  1. Click File in the top left corner

  2. Click Options in the lower left corner

  3. In Outlook Options click Calendar

  4. Scroll down and there is a Time Zone section where you can add additional time zones!

It makes coordinating meetings across time zones in Outlook so much easier and you can add 2 additional time zones and can switch them easily to accommodate needs!

The new times show up in your calendar next to your default time sets and then can easily be removed as well.

Separately, it’d be irresponsible of me not to mention that Vimcal EA allows up to 5 time zones. :)

If you ever need a refresher on past Tech Tips without digging through your emails, they’re all available in a single post right here.
