From what I've seen, the BigWigs tend to use it to schedule all the
meetings they like to live in. Most "normal" people though find it more
of a nuesance than anything else. I tend to be one of those who will
block out all but 2hrs of my day as busy so some butt nut doesn't decide
to schedule meetings for me durring my lunch or after hours, etc.
:wq!
