> 1. It needs a fake calendar that is randomly populated with meetings.

While we're on this, can everyone please post their favorite ridiculous meeting title that is really real? I'll start with a recurring meeting series from last year that was called "mid-sprint calibration".



Recurring weekly appointment "Hunt for Breakfast"

(We eventually found out Hunt was a person's name).


It still doesn't make sense. Unless you were having Hunt for breakfast.


Canceled: Weekly <Project name redacted> Project Update

This was the title of an actual, not cancelled, meeting in Outlook.


"Site visit, cum lunch".


Do you work at Pornhub?


Ha, no. It should have been "Site visit-cum-lunch", i.e. a visit that is also a lunch, but someone didn't quite enter it correctly...


Now that "w/" is well understood there is no reason to ever use "cum", except maybe in phrases that are entirely Latin.


'cum louder' was once spotted on a CV under the education section. Damn that spell checker... I hope.


Hey, they make educational videos.
