Small business forum: anyone know a good scheduling program?

Have you looked at ScheduleThing? Their interface is very easy to read, and contains a detailed calendar that you can filter, expand, and customize as you need to. It also sounds like you'd be qualified for their free plan (which comes with two resources and one reservation type); if you wanted to upgrade, the next plan is only $19 month, and comes with an initial one month free trial.

You also say that you are only looking for something only you will use, but you might also want to consider branching out your business so that customers can make their own appointments! ScheduleThing can be set-up so that your customers can view your open times and types of services, and then make their own reservations as needed. If they ever cancel, you would receive an email notification so that you always know what's going on. And best yet, everything's web-based, which means that your appointments are updated in real time, and you can access your dashboard from anywhere with internet connection - even your phone. This will save you a ton of time and headaches!

I work on marketing for ScheduleThing, but my company also uses them to schedule our own needs. We've used them internally to book our various conference rooms (even ones in different buildings!), and externally to arrange telephone calls and phone interviews. From first-hand experience, I can tell you that it's very easy to use.

Good luck with your scheduling! For more information about ScheduleThing, visit www.schedulething.com.
