Junkman Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 All those 1978 calendars you've been saving up in case they might come in handy are finally useful again.And to think people dared to suggest they be thrown away. The very thought!
Snake45 Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 I always save cool calendars. There are only 14 different calendars, after all. You can use them all again eventually.
Draggon Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Thats pretty funny It's weird looking at old calendars. I write notes on them, and its like "My girlfriend moved to my place in 2001? I thought it was last year!"
espo Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Thats pretty funny It's weird looking at old calendars. I write notes on them, and its like "My girlfriend moved to my place in 2001? I thought it was last year!" That's because everything is still cool. When it becomes the other way around, well good luck with that.

I thought it was last year!" I write lots of notes on my calendars like birthdays, doctors appointments, car shows and cruise nights, etc. And yeah I save my old calendars in case I want to look back at something that happened or when I did it.
CometMan Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 My grandmother bought those cloth calendars with the stick with a string on it for many years and saved all of them. When they got older and grandpa retired she began to look through them every year to find one that the dates matched the upcoming year. I always thought it was cool the first time I went to their house after New Year's so I could see "what year it was this year". After she passed away and we were cleaning their house out I found all of them in the attic. I kept, and still have them, she passed away in 1984!
Rob Hall Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 About the only kind of print calendar I've used since the end of the last century are a Dilbert day-by-day desk calendar in my cube at work. With calendars on my computers, phone and tablets I really don't need print ones..

At the end of the year the old one became a kitchen hand towel. I don't know if they're still in the family or not.

With calendars on my computers, phone and tablets I really don't need print ones.. At work I can see what day it is, how many more days to deadlines, be reminded of a dentist appointment, which holiday is coming up, the phase of the moon, see last months calendar with next months calendar and get a boffo cool photo, all with just a glance of the eye. Now THAT's technology. Lets see your phone do that.

Ace-Garageguy Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 I can do most of that with Outlook on my computer...though I don't care about the phase of the moon (probably is a phone app for that). All true, but with the paper calendar you can do it all when the power goes off, and you don't have to keep your battery charged.
Rob Hall Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 All true, but with the paper calendar you can do it all when the power goes off, and you don't have to keep your battery charged. True that... but I think I've only been through a couple power outages in 20 years of corporate life...not a common event.
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) True that... but I think I've only been through a couple power outages in 20 years of corporate life...not a common event. Sometimes I have to wonder if I live in a third-world country. With the frequency of power outages here, I figure they must be getting cheap PCB-filled transformers from China.

About 10 years ago working in an office tower in Denver they were testing the back up power generator...and the 10 story building filled w/ diesel fumes and smoke...had to evacuate..in a blizzard. And a couple years ago here in Scottsdale the 3 story office building I currently work in had the plumbing shut off due to a water main leak...no flushy potties, no worky....
Junkman Posted January 7, 2017 Author Posted January 7, 2017 I was secretly looking forward to people posting pictures of the '78 calendars they still have kicking about.
