ok so i have a few days out of the week that i need to be reminded
off. lets say Thursdays i have to call the office to report in,
reminder Tuesdays and Thursdays to charge the laptop at like 10am (i
always forget) what is the best way to create this with tasker? i
couldnt find anything in http://tasker.wikidot.com/profile-index or
http://tasker.wikidot.com/step-throughs with the best settings.

i am able to setup a very simple "notify" task for a time and date
context, but any chance tasker can re-remind me till i click a
"Dismiss" button? the popup alert only gives me a 30minute time max,
cant set it to stay till i cancel the notification for that day but
reactivating so its ready for the next day. i just want it to keep
reminding me every X minutes incase i missed the first alert until i
dismiss it. THANKS!

How about something like this:

Profile 1:
Context: day of week Tue, Thur
Context: time 10am-10am
task:
1. Variable set %MYALERT = 1
2. Notify Sound "Alert notification!"

Profile 2:
Context: state, variable value %MYALERT is set
Context: time, every 5 minutes
task:
1. Play notification sound.

Profile 3:
Context: event, notification clicked "Alert Notification"
task:
1. Variable Clear %MYALERT

The only drawback is it will continue to alert you if you use "clear all notifications" button - but you can add a widget to your homescreen that will call the task from profile 3.

A.

Why force Tasker to do something that would be better served by an alarm program?

'cause Alarm can be snoozed or more over - deactivated by Stop. Rather then Tasker with sophisticated mesh of annoying profiles never let You forget about wake up :) (or charge battery)

 droopie,  include into some of BossMan's profiles wait 1 minute and cycle. It would be nice. couple of weeks and You'll remember everything and everywhere :)

this two come in if I don't wake up after Alarm:
