Daily Public Calendar: Fill & Download for Free

Finding a mutual time for setting a meeting. I don't want to send people to a public calendar, or for me to go to theirs. I don't want to have a virtual assistant email back and forth. It should be possible for two calendars to find an open time, then send an email to the participants with 2-3 suggested times.

Depending on where from the US you are from you are in for quite a culture clash.Dutch people are very direct. In the US that is considered extremely rude, but in the Netherlands that is very common. They don’t mean anything bad about it, but if you ask for their opinion (and also often if you don’t) you will be told their opinion. That really takes some getting used to. I made the reverse journey, as you see in my credential, and I am still getting used to it.We went to the vet with our dog, for instance. As is common in the Netherlands, I started asking all sorts of questions. Not because I am rude, but because I am Dutch and for us that is normal. If the vet says “we’re gonna do this and that,” you ask “why?” and “what’s that gonna do?” and “how long is that gonna take?” and “what side effects can I expect?” The vet nearly exploded, pushed the dog in our hands and us out of the clinic. Oops.In the Netherlands that is not a problem. So it both has its advantages and disadvantages but on both sides it takes some getting used to.Dutch people are not really good with authority, in general. Even directors get called by their first names by their secretaries!Dutch people are usually not very flamboyant or noisy. Talking loud is considered rude. We even have a saying for that: act normally, that’s weird enough.We are friendly but can come across as not very welcoming. I’ve heard people say that they found it very easy to talk with Dutch people, but that it is hard to make real friends. Part of that is that Dutch people are very scheduled people. Many people have full calendars for weeks, that makes it hard to do things on the spot. We’re not very spontaneous I am afraid. I as a very spontaneous and outgoing person have not always felt at home there because of that. On the other hand, when a Dutch person says “come by some time,” they actually mean it. They would appreciate it if you call in advance, but they do actually mean that.If they ask you how you are, they really want to know. The way it is used in the US, instead of hi, or good morning, that is completely strange to us. Strangers won’t ever ask you that. If you’re asked, they want to know. And you can actually give an honest answer, and nobody will blink an eye.Dutch people are very much “live and let live.” You really must be a bad apple to not fit in or be excluded on a job, for instance. Differences are easier accepted in the Netherlands. Religion doesn’t play a role in daily/public life. The ostentatious religiousness in the US is completely absent. And, even better, if you are with a same-sex partner that is generally pretty much accepted. Office parties where you can bring your partner can finally be enjoyed.Lastly, it’s a much better place for women. You won’t be catcalled (at least, not on any level that is annoying), you are pretty much safe anywhere. There are no no-go areas in the Netherlands, not even for women on their own.I found it incredibly hard to go from that to Kentucky. I am still not used to everything, although after almost 6 years it is starting to get somewhere. I can imagine that the reverse is equally true (again, depending on where in the US you come from, of course. If you’re coming from a rural conservative area it will be stranger than if you’re from a big liberal city).It takes time though. Be aware of the differences in culture, and count on them making for some awkward and uncomfortable moments here and there.

He doesn’t get many daily briefings - they’re rarely on his public calendar , which reports just about everything he does except for bathroom breaks…President Donald Trump - Public Schedule Calendar | FactbaseIt has been widely reported that he doesn’t like to read, so the briefings probably have to be condensed to bullet points.Had he been paying attention to daily briefings, he would have known that Alabama was NOT in the path of Hurricane Dorian. He has created his own reality, and he wants you to join him in it. Don’t do that.
