Thing 8 - Google Calendar

Had a look at Google Calendar.  I like the easy colour coding, but I'm already using Outlook Calendar - not to it's fullest I admit - but using it.  Outlook calendar does have colour coding too, but it seems to work differently and doesn't have so many colours to choose from.  If you want to print, colour coding only works if you have a colour printer.
Might suggest using either calendar system for our staff rostering.

Thing 7 - organisations

As you can see I'm making an effort to catch up - at the expense of day-to-day tasks.
When I first qualified, over 30 years ago, I tried to join the LAI but any attempts seemed to be ignored - so I ignored them!
Eventually, a few years ago, I became acquainted with some of their Groups and finally joined.  I find the groups to which I belong interesting and useful.  I've attended some CILIP-organised courses an found them excellent.

Thing 6

While they might have their uses for some I've decided the likes of Twitter, Facebook and Linked-in are not for me.  Maybe it's a generational thing!
