If you encounter an error like the one below, see this fix in lubridate issue #928

Error: Problem with `mutate()` input `start_datetime`.
x CCTZ: Unrecognized timezone: "America/New_York"
ℹ Input `start_datetime` is `lubridate::force_tzs(start_datetime, "EST", tzone_out = timezone)`.
Run `rlang::last_error()` to see where the error occurred.

rstudio-global-2021-calendar's Issues

Script does not work across time zones

In its current state, the script is only useful for people on Eastern time. The time zone (tz) on lines 114 and 115, is hard-coded as "EST" and needs to be updated so it can work across time zones.
