We also have a staff calendar at work and use the all day events the same way.

My employer needs someone who is educated in this program. Ive never used it before, but took a few hours each day to familiarize myself with it and it was really simple to operate. One of my readers asks: Can you help me with ACT? Ive never used it. My answer to this is: First off, cut down on the caffeine.
