Thunderbird and Google Calendar

I have an office for the first time in many years with my new role as chief resident.  Unfortunately, I am more familiar with Google and Mozilla's office-like tools than I am with those from Microsoft.  One of the first frustrations I found was having a browser and email client window open to be able to read email requests for meetings and then put them in my Google calendar.  Two days ago, I stumbled upon the Google calendar add-on for thunderbird.  It is perfect.  I'll include a screenshot but it does exactly what I would expect.  Thanks go to Bryan Clark.
