You can ask icalender to show your work calendar, which is fairly easy.

That way you have everything in one place and they will be colour coded, so you can see which is which instantly.

Just spoke to my IT guys and it cant be done (should mention I have a work and personal device) something to do with security- my arse

Tell your IT department to **** off with their stupid security measures which are probably just meant to hide laziness on their part.

Unless you are a spy or some ****, there is no reason to force you to carry two devices (so long as you are willing to accept your device being forced into a higher security mode with locking and remote wipe).

We can blame lagging, outdated IT protocols on 60 year old CTOs/CIOs who can't get with the times.

We need young, ambitious leaders like Tyrell Wellick spearheading our F500 IT policies.

Go Millenials!!!

Security policy across almost every industry is a joke. It is way more CYA than actual good sense. As an example, in my current job, I can't access gmail for fear I might send confidential material from a personal email. Yet, when I'm home and VPN in I can or I can get into webmail from home, or just use a flash drive.

Companies keep putting security measures in place that not only don't address the root cause of security leaks, they don't actual really fix the symptoms either. Almost all security breaches fall into one of these three categories:

1. Social engineering
2. Some kind of hack into software (SQL injection, etc)
3. Credit card skimmers, etc

Everywhere I go though, the security measures being implemented are things like encrypted drives, blocking email, etc. The ability to wipe a phone makes sense if it gets lost and a good precaution, but it isn't one the primary ways data is stolen or security is breached.

In my experience, the average millennial doen't know the first thing about IT security or actually most tech stuff. They know how to use their iPhone but they're clueless on actual CS/IT/engineering stuff that happens underneath or at an enterprise level. Is that a bad thing? No, not necessarily, but the blanket millennial statement is far from the truth (though, I'm sure you were joking).

I decided to put pomade on my chest hairs keep them in place because that's probably what they did in olden times seems to have worked out okay for the people what han done that.

When I be logged on to Facebook I saw in the "Update Status" part of my screen a message of "The Badgers play the Boilermakers today What's on your Mind?" I'm like "I don't give a **** if the Badgers are playing the Boilermakers why did you write that in my Update Status box?"

Guess who's the two times in a row European Athlete of the Year that's right it's the lovely Dutch athlete Dafne Schippers. I don't get why she doesn't have more world famousness to her.

Bolt, Blake, Gebrselassie, Johnson, Lewis, Christie, most of them aren't active any longer though, nor European.

Donovan Bailey and Michael Johnson had very publicized 150m grudged match, because one was the quickest on 100 and the other 200.

There we go. Yes, that was the time period when The Fastest Man in the World title did not go to the current 100m dash champ, as the US determined that while this was the situation it belonged to the 200m dash guy. It was delicious tears.
