Most people live their lives based on clocks and calendars. Think about
it: You wake up, and your first thoughts are about what day it is, what
time it is, and whether it’s a working day.
You have a familiar definition for what your typical workday is, whether
you’re a 9-to-5 kind of person or your particular job calls for you to work from
midnight to 8 a.m. You also vary from that routine now and then by putting in
a 12-hour marathon in a crunch or slipping away after half a day to go fishing
on a nice summer day.
Project 2007 calendars are sort of like your life in that they set some
standards for a typical working time and then allow for variation. Unlike you,
Project 2007 has several types of calendars to account for.
