I book meetings for my boss. We used to use Groupwise which would allow you
to send a meeting request without automatically including yourself as an
invitee (or meeting organizer). Now that we've switched to Outlook, I can't
figure out a way to take myself OFF as an invitee to any meetings I make for
him. I don't want all his appointments in my calendar as well as his. But
he prefers to have an appointment to accept/decline rather than just having
them posted to the calendar. Is there any way? Or is this just "the way it
is" (which to me is a bug that needs fixing!)?

Several Admin assistants in our office asked the same question after
switching from GroupWise to Outlook, and I finally found an answer for
them, on Google Groups:

In summary, you create a New Folder in Outlook, containing Appointment
Items, that is separate from your main Calendar. Go to that secondary
calendar before scheduling meetings for someone else, so that they
won't show up on your main calendar and make you look "busy" to other
people, during that time. The only drawback is that Outlook won't
process the Accept/Decline messages from those meetings, automatically.
(You still get them, but they won't get tallied on the meeting's
Tracking pane.)
