Reminds me of an old micromanaging supervisor of mine. He tried to get me to schedule out my tasks in detail so that they knew what I was doing every minute.
So I broke it down in sub-5 minute intervals all day long until the last 2 hours of the day. The last 2 hours: Filling out the calendar for tomorrow. The directive lasted a week.
I also might have set the notification default to 5 minutes before each event and picked an especially annoying notification tone.

Outlook just called OP fat lmao

The origin of brunch
Honey I'm on a fixed income and I can't afford to eat lunch even the once. That's why the good lord invented cigarettes.
You can't afford lunch but you have money for cigs in this economy?
I'd say God bless Phillip Morris but that would be kind of redundant.
